As others have said, it sounds like there is a file in your repository with some characters in the filename that your OS doesn't like. The best fix is to find and rename the file. Here are some suggestions on how to do this if you're having trouble just checking it out.
A checkout should tell you how far its getting before the filename becomes a problem, and narrow down finding a problem file in the repository. You can use 'svn ls URL' to look for the problem filename without checking it out, and svn mv URL1 URL2 to move the file to a better filename without needing it checked out. -- Sarah On 24 March 2010 12:21, Blair Zajac <bl...@orcaware.com> wrote: > On 03/23/2010 08:04 AM, Markus Fried wrote: >> >> Hi Ryan, >> >> it's not a file I put into SVN that causes the problem - it seems that SVN >> attached a kind of time stamp for one of its book keeping files in the .svn >> folder. > > As others have stated, that file is something checked into svn. > > What svn does is save a pristine copy of the file in the .svn folder but > appends the ".svn-base" to its name, so it's natural to think it's something > that svn maintains for itself, but in this case the root cause is a poorly > named file checked into svn. > > Regards, > Blair >
