Hi all, I'm trying to cleanup a repository a bit. While renaming and moving files/folders I noticed that commit at times fail with the message "path not found". I think this is caused by filenames with spaces.
I could easily reproduce this on a personal repository I have a co of a folder with two subfolders my-laptop ~/my_wc $ ls folder 1 folder 2 Rename folder 2 to folder 3 my-laptop ~/my_wc $ svn move "folder 2" "folder 3" A folder 3 D folder 2/file with spaces.txt D folder 2 Move file to folder 1 my-laptop ~/my_wc $ svn move "folder 3/file with spaces.txt" "folder 1/file with spaces.txt" A folder 1/file with spaces.txt D folder 3/file with spaces.txt Commit my-laptop ~/my_wc $ svn commit --message "test" Adding folder 1/file with spaces.txt svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: '/svn/!svn/bc/1101/test/folder%202/file' path not found If I issue the commands on a file without spaces (replace space with underscore) the commit is successful. If I reverse the commands, I move the file and then rename the folders, the commit also fails but with a different error message svn: Item '/test/folder 2' is out of date After that I was unable to recover my working copy to a working state. It reports tree conflict. svn cleaup, svn revert, svn up didn't help. Is this a known problem? Shouldn't this just work regardless of spaces in filenames and/or order of the commands? BTW, I'm using Linux Mint and svn client version 1.6.5 (r38866). Repository is *version 1.5.1 (r32289).* Thanks in advance, Onno
