Can't Revert, Commit or do anything to Uncommitted Change

[Abby Moody]

Hello,

We have an uncommitted change showing up:

When we try to revert we get this error:

"Can't create directory '': Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

When we try to commit, it pops up with commit window, says completed but when you go check uncommitted changes its still there.

Things we have tried, but does not fix the problem:

• Reverting back to a revision far before this time
• Deleting the .svn folder and doing an svn checkout again
• doing an update, clean up... pretty much every option that toroise svn drop down window provides.

We thought maybe it was a permissions issue, but we are able to do a checkout in another location with the same permissions and the uncommitted file does not show up.

One option would be to add a subfolder within the path and checkout there, but we have a lot of things putting to this path so switching it up would be a pain and it could just happen again.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks,

Abby

Hi!

 

Did you see    directory   vs    file? is there a FILE named ibi_data_files instead of a directory of that name?

Do you have a directory in the repository and accidentally deleted that in your working copy and created a file with the same name instead?

I have seen that happen if you plan to  copy a file to a directory, forget the trailing slash, remove the directory for whatever reason, and then you get a file with a name

of the directory.

This would explain the messages and the fact that svn simply gives up because reverting would mean deleting a file and re-creating the missing directory which svn doesn’t want to.

And if you use Windows 10 like I do then chances are that updating the explorer view does not happen automatically or is delayed.

 

Just a wild guess.
