Unable to commit files to svn, because they refer to same URL

[Emilis Panovas <ep...@epista.com>]

Hi,

When I try to commit two different configuration files to the subversion
I get the following error.

 

Attempting to commit to a URL more than once

svn: Commit failed (details follow):

svn: Cannot commit both 'C:\Program
Files\Eclipse\workspaces\MatBuilder\install4j\resources\WebServer\tomcat
cfg\sp\bin\autoservice.bat' and 'C:\Program
Files\Eclipse\workspaces\MatBuilder\install4j\resources\WebServer\tomcat
cfg\matbuilder\bin\autoservice.bat' as they refer to the same URL

 

As you can see the two files come from different sources, so I don't
really understand why the problem occurs. If I try to commit one file,
then the other, the first one get overwritten by the second one. Is
there something I am doing wrong or is it a bug in subversion?

 

PS. Subversion is running on Linux.

Well, that's not entirely clear - yes, they're in different directories, 
but they may refer to the same SVN URL for some reason.

Try running "svn info" in C:\Program 
Files\Eclipse\workspaces\MatBuilder\install4j\resources\WebServer\tomcatcfg\sp
and C:\Program 
Files\Eclipse\workspaces\MatBuilder\install4j\resources\WebServer\tomcatcfg\matbuilder. 


I have a feeling that somehow those two directories have been mangled 
into referring to the same SVN URL.  (Possibly by creating one as a copy 
of the other via OS filesystem tools rather than SVN?)
