Hello everyone, I got this error below during an svn co command. It left my workspace in a bad state from which I had to do svn cleanup before trying again (the retry worked):
svn: E200033: Another process is blocking the working copy database, or the underlying filesystem does not support file locking; if the working copy is on a network filesystem, make sure file locking has been enabled on the file server svn: E200033: sqlite[S5]: database is locked svn: E200042: Additional errors: svn: E200033: sqlite[S5]: database is locked svn: E200030: sqlite[S1]: cannot start a transaction within a transaction svn: E200030: sqlite[S1]: cannot start a transaction within a transaction I think this happens when the network is flaky. This error happened on windows but I have also seen it happen on solaris 10. Has anyone else seen this? If it is due to network flakiness then perhaps svn should retry to work around this transparently, and thus be more robust? Perhaps it could retry up to 3 times with a sleep a 1 second between retries?
