Unclear error message in commit
The following steps lead to an unexpected error message from
Subversion 1.5.1 (client+server) when used with WebDAV.
- svn co http://repositoryname/trunk/ --depth=empty
- cd trunk
- mkdir NameOfDirectoryThatAlreadyExists
- svn add NameOfDirectoryThatAlreadyExists
- svn ci -mCommitting new directory
This leads to the following error:
Adding F:\LocalRepository\trunk\NameOfDirectoryThatAlreadyExists
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (405 Method Not Allowed) in
response to MKCOL request for
//!svn/wrk/cfd1f9e0-87b4-a941-8079-678508eca67e/trunk/
NameOfDirectoryThatAlreadyExists
When using the SVN protocol, the error message is File already exists,
which is generally a much more useful response. (Technically its
directory already exists, but Ill cut some slack on that one :) )
PS Sorry if this is a double-post. I attempted to post this, but I
hadn't set up an email account yet, so I couldn't tell if it had gone
through.
