Re: Subversion exception : diff_editor.c internal malfunction

[Stefan Hett]

Maybe not applicable, but if you don't get a more specific reply from 
s/o else I'd first try to update your TortoiseSVN version. 1.8.7 is 
quite old. 1.8.11 is the latest build available (in between 1.8.7 and 
1.8.11 there are quire a few fixes so maybe one applies to ur issue as 
well).

To whom it mat concern;
I am sending this EMAIL to report a Subversion exception as 
requested.  I was using Tortoise SVN, 1.8.7 Build 25475 – 64 bit 
2014/05/05 to perfom a “show log” functionality.  While viewing the 
log  I right clicked on the current revision of code (which was 3 
revisions newer than mine) and requested “Show changes as unified 
diff”.  The execution of this operation was taking a very long time 
(10 minutes?) and I still saw no result, so I decided to select 
“cancel” from the progress window.  The following error resulted:

---------------------------

Subversion Exception!

---------------------------

Subversion encountered a serious problem.

Please take the time to report this on the Subversion mailing list

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.
