Re: Re: svn 1.6.x regression: svn commit damages 'root of drive working copies' under windows

Ah, I didn't see that in the issue tracker. Looks like the same
root-of-drive issue, but in my case there was no abort, use of a
network share, or partial commit. What are the odds of the 1.7.x fix
being backported to 1.6.x? We ran into this during a dry run of moving
our source control to Subversion from another SCM system, but given
the way our developers work on their code this is a nuisance. At least
there's a workaround (commit from the "real" path, not the subst-ed
drive letter).

If I've hosed my working copy by doing this, is there a graceful way
to clean it up? 'svn cleanup' quits with the same message; the only
way I've found to get it unstuck is to clear the "log" files from the
.svn folder in the root directory, svn up, and hope for the best.

Hi Andrey,

By top-posting, do you mean CCing users? I'm sorry if that wasn't  
appropriate, but I was also trying to make a resolution more search- 
friendly. Google got me to your original question and the reproduction  
case, but then silence.

As for moving the WC down a directory, it's unfortunately too late by  
that point. The damage seems to be done when the log is written during  
the commit, so even running svn cleanup from the REAL WC directory  
(rather than the subst-ed drive letter) dies with the same error.

You can simply move whole WC one directory level down and hope for normal
operation.
And PLEASE stop top-posting.
