commit problems on webdav drive

[ulrich....@carnet-gmbh.de]

Hello everybody,

I have to question on webdav. We have setup a webdav on a remote server used as a company shared drive. I have checked out a project to this location. However on commiting a change the TortoiseSVN says: "Can't move '...\.svn\tmp\svn-...' to '...\.svn\pristine\..\...svn-base'" The webdav complains with this message in the log: "Could not MOVE .../.svn/tmp/svn-... due to a failed precondition on the source (e.g. locks). [424, #0]

All other file operation seen to work on the webdav. Maybe TortoiseSVN handles the files differently? The webdav lockfile is okay so far. I have not found a hint how to configure the webdav to handle this.

Thank you very much

Do NOT share working copies. Working copies are meant to be stored locally.

it's not meant for sharing among users but for me for accessing the drive over the internet.

Also not meant for that.
Check out a separate working copy for yourself, and commit from there.
A working copy should be on your local harddrive, not on some network. The repository is on the network, and that's all - the rest is local.

Also, WebDAV drives don't support all necessary locking mechanisms svn requires from a working copy. That's why you're getting the errors.
