I have on two occasions had two lines of code transposed on an SVN Tortoise

I have never ever heard of any such thing, and I'm very surprised by it. Just
to make sure, did you try a different editor? I could imagine crappy tools
getting confused by inconsistent line endings or such things.
In both cases the code was VB6. In each case an Exit command
was transposed with an End If line. The code below provides an example.
' Case 1: End if Swapped with Exit For
For ...
If ... Then
...
Exit For
End If
Next
' Case 2: End if Swapped with Exit Property
If ... Then
...
End If
Exit Property
On checkout to one computer the code was transposed as:
' Case 1: End if Swapped with Exit For
For ...
If ... Then
...
End If
Exit For
Next
' Case 2: End if Swapped with Exit Property
If ... Then
...
Exit Property
End If
Strange. Is that effect repeatable?
Additional detail:
In each case I checked the same baseline out on a second computer and the
lines were not swapped. I reversed the lines to correct for the error, and
did a DIFF, which showed the line order correct.
The diff showed the changes you made or the diff showed that the order was
already correct? What does the diff show if you don't change anything, i.e. is
the working copy already modified on checkout? What access method was used on
checkout (file, http, https, svn, svn+ssh)? Could it be that some network
proxy/filter/censorship/firewall application modifies the network traffic?
I checked in and did a DIFF between the current code and the original
revision, no differences were found.
How exactly? SVN doesn't allow you to check in without changes. What does 'svn
log' on the repository tell you about the created revision?
We have not been able to repeat this problem.
Wait: You have only had this issue a single time? Can you rule out that some
user or machine accidentally modified the checked out files?
But since the issue involves End If with Exit commands, different
baselines, different users, and different SVN repositories, I'm at a
loss on where to look next.
BTW: What is a baseline? SVN doesn't use this term, so what exactly do you
mean with it? Also, just to make sure since you have multiple repositories,
you didn't fall for the trap that you created one with svnadmin and the others
by copying? That would give all repositories the same UUID, which messes with
SVN's internals.
BTW2: You're sending HTML mail, please try to turn that off for mailinglists.
Good luck!
