Howdy. I was attempting to use TortoiseSVN to view the differences made in the history of a specific file, when I received the following exception:
--------------------------- Subversion Exception! --------------------------- Subversion encountered a serious problem. Please take the time to report this on the Subversion mailing list with as much information as possible about what you were trying to do. But please first search the mailing list archives for the error message to avoid reporting the same problem repeatedly. You can find the mailing list archives at http://subversion.apache.org/mailing-lists.html Subversion reported the following (you can copy the content of this dialog to the clipboard using Ctrl-C): In file 'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.8.0\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_wc\wc_db.c' line 8443: assertion failed (svn_dirent_is_absolute(local_abspath)) --------------------------- OK --------------------------- I can find another instance of this being reported ( http://svn.haxx.se/tsvnusers/archive-2013-01/0123.shtml) but this specific problem does not seem to be applicable to my scenario -- specifically, I do not have a directory named "c:". Normally I use a VPN to connect to my work's network, and from there I can access the remote repo. However, in this instance--when I tried to obtain the file history--I was NOT connected to the VPN. When I reconnect to the VPN, I am able to get the file history; when I disconnect, I see the exception as above. Let me know if I can offer any other information. Cheers, Jon
