True, but this was an internal repository which I am sure was not being updated.
This would not work, as you have pointed out, for a public repository if it has been updated. -Nathan -----Original Message----- From: Ulrich Eckhardt [mailto:ulrich.eckha...@dominolaser.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2011 2:55 AM To: users@subversion.apache.org Cc: Nathan Ciliberto Subject: Re: Subversion Exception Am 17.10.2011 23:38, schrieb Nathan Ciliberto: > I fixed my local repository by doing a checkout into a new directory > and copying the ".svn" from the new copy to the old directory. 1. "local repository" - you mean "working copy" or short "WC" 2. Copying the ".svn" folder is dangerous. If you check out at revision X and someone commits revision X+1 before you do the new checkout, you now have the files in revision X but SVN thinks they were derived from version X+1. So the changes from that last revision are not contained in your local files and they show up as reversed when doing "svn diff". If that revision moved/renamed/added files, this might even be lost partially. Note that the usual suggestion to check out anew and then copy files the other direction is not much better, it suffers from the same possible problems. You need to verify manually what you have there. 3. In 1.7, there is only one ".svn" folder at the root of the WC. If any of them remain in subdirs, you should be able to remove them safely. Good luck!
