Website repository problems -- February 01, 2011 - 16:19

Hi Edward and others,

I tried to update my repository version of the website using svn, but 
got several similar error messages like:

    svn: Failed to add file 'manual/1.3/images.pl': an unversioned file 
of the same name already exists

I tried removing the problematic files such that they are freshly 
replaced, but the problem comes again with different files.

Then, I tried to get a fresh copy and got the following error:

    svn: In directory 'manual/1.3'
    svn: Can't open file 
'manual/1.3/.svn/tmp/text-base/index.html.svn-base': No such file or 
directory

and, if typing "svn up", followed by:

    svn: Working copy 'manual/1.3' locked
    svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for 
details)

finally, after "svn cleanup", with:

    svn: Failed to add file 'manual/1.3/img121.png': an unversioned 
file of the same name already exists

...

Any idea what could cause this ?

Best regards,


Séb  :)
