Parameter error while checking out a repository on windows
Hello group,
Im getting an error while trying to check out a remote inhouse
subversion repository on windows. Any checkout or update stops with a
parameter error at one certain file.
I have no such problem using a linux client. I searched the mail archive
but couldn't find anything useful or related.
The directory the file resides in contains only lower case filenames, so
case insensitivity should be no problem. Looking at the filemon output
below, the parameter error seems to happen while trying to access a
lock file.
The files content may be a bit strange, it contains spanish help with
special characters encoded in IBM850 charset.
Any pointers or request for further information is welcome.
BTW. TortoiseSVN has exactly the same problem.
TIA, Bernd

Ah! One of my favorite problems that keeps coming up on the list
every so often.
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-01/0242.shtml
It is possible to set up a pre-commit hook to disallow commits of
such problematically-named files in the future; there's probably an
example that's been posted to the list before if you're interested.

As a workaround I tried to check out the other language files on a per
directory base. When they all failed at prn.<lang suffix> I finally got
the message:
'prn.<suffix>' is obviously not a valid filename in windows. I knew that
prn was a reserved name but I was not aware that this is also true if
the filename has a suffix.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks, Bernd
