Error: Can’t set position pointer in file ‘Directory Path\’: An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file. This error appears for any action I try (committing, updating, checking out, etc). The version information is: TortoiseSVN 1.7.12, Build 24070 – 64 Bit, 2013/03/29 08:00:43 Subversion 1.7.9, Apr 1.4.6 Apr –utils 1.3.12 Neon 0.29.6 OpenSSL 1.-. 1e 11 Feb 2013 Zlib 1.2.7 I’m not sure what a BDB repository is, but in the repo the fs-type is listed as fsfs so I am guessing it is not bdb. I did not pick one way or the other as far as I know.
