Hi, I recently upgraded my TortoiseSVN installation to 1.7-beta2, and after upgrading the repository info for one of my checkouts, I tried an update.
After a long time (I haven't updated that repo for quite some time), I got a dialog-box with the following text: ---8<--- --------------------------- Subversion Exception! --------------------------- Subversion encountered a serious problem. Please take the time to report this on the Subversion mailing list (users@subversion.apache.org) with as much information as possible about what you were trying to do. But please first search the mailing list archives for the error message to avoid reporting the same problem repeatedly. You can find the mailing list archives at http://subversion.apache.org/mailing-lists.html Subversion reported the following: In file 'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.7-beta2\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_wc\update_editor.c' line 1582: assertion failed (action == svn_wc_conflict_action_edit || action == svn_wc_conflict_action_delete || action == svn_wc_conflict_action_replace) --------------------------- OK --------------------------- ---8<--- I don't know the code-base, but my knee-jerk instinct was that I did have local modifications in some of the files; luckily these were pure throw-away things. So after a clean-up and revert I updated again, and everything seems to be in order again. I did a quick search on some of the words in the assert, but didn't find anything. Anyway, if this is an already known and fixed issue, please disregard this mail ;)
