It can happen if any change is committed beneath the autobuild directory in the short window from which the code retrieves its version and then commits the next transaction. It is real easy to see this problem if you are using mirrors and the write-thru proxy feature. On a single server, it seems like it would just require perfect bad-timing. If your logs give you a timestamp when the command failed, you ought to be able to run svn log and see if there was another commit at the same time. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
