svn copy file already exist
Dear experts,
I am facing an issue while trying to branch a project. Its not a
straight forward branching, the process I followed is as below
I checked out trunk with an old revision number to my local
machine then I updated some files to newer revision. I then tried to branch
from my local copy, but the commit is failing with the error 'file already
exists' .
The svn copy command that I tried is
svn copy X https://192.168.1.1/svn/X/branches/X_Rel123 -m "Creating
Branch for ..."
The 'file already exists' is thrown for the file that I updated
individually after the checkout.
Can anyone help me with this issue...
The svn version that I am using is 1.5.4
with regards,
Raghupradeep.

Hi,
I was able to branch when using the repository access protocol 'ra_local'.
But when trying to branch from remote using the WebDAV protocol like
'ra_neon' or 'ra_serf' its failing with the error 'file already exists'. I
found out that this is happening only if I am doing svn update on the file.
If I am doing the update on the immediate parent folder of the file I am
able to branch without any issues. So seams as a issue with WebDAV protocol.

Sorry, my script had a bug (it created a branch from trunk@r1 and
then tried to do so again from the working copy).
Fixed version is attached, the output looks good now,
alpha@r2 is included in the branch. It seems to work.
I cannot reproduce your problem, there must be some detail missing...

Hi,
You could try copying the trunk at the old revision to a branch
first, and then copying all files you want at a different revision
from trunk into the branch.
If that does not work, please take the time to write a script
(preferably in UNIX /bin/sh if you can, otherwise send a windows
.bat file that we can translate to /bin/sh). The script should
create a new repository, and execute svn commands that show the
problem you are seeing.
I have tried to reproduce your problem but could not.
All I'm seeing from my script (see attachment) is that alpha@r1 is
copied instead of alpha@r3, i.e. copying a mixed-revision working
copy verbatim to a URL does not seem to work.
My script's output is:
+ rm -rf recipe
+ mkdir -p recipe
+ mkdir -p recipe/trunk
+ echo alpha
+ > recipe/trunk/alpha
+ echo beta
+ > recipe/trunk/beta
+ mkdir recipe/trunk/gamma
