You requested me to send you
Hi, I got a Subversion Exception with the message "Subversion encountered a serious problem. Please take the time to report this on the Subversion mailing list." This sounds very simple, but I'm now 5 pages into the explanations on the Apache site, where it says most reports will be thrown away, they have to be properly validated (huh?) and we should read the entire site documentation and community process before continuing. I did my best to search for similar issues, but it's not really clear if my search was complete. Anyway, here's what I got, you asked me to send it, so even if you'll probably throw it away I guess I'll send it. Trying to revert a directory, I got: In file 'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.6.8\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_wc\tree-conflicts.c' line 570: assertion failed (strcmp(dir_path, svn_path_dirname(victim path, pool)) == 0) Hopefully you can make use of it, since you can't cut and paste the information, and I had to type all that by hand! Thanks, Michael
RE: You requested me to send you
Thank you! Are you saying this bug is fixed, or just it's not acceptable to file a bug report until you've upgraded? I am not in charge of Subversion upgrades so that would be the end of the road for me.

It's my understanding that you *can* copy the information in such a window by pressing Ctrl-C. Newer versions of TortoiseSVN specifically mention this. This leads to a suggestion: Have you tried a newer version of TortoiseSVN?
