Unexpected problem (possible bug): Error at "Accept incoming deletion" after "Fetching tree conflict info" aborted manually because it took too long

[Tobias Knauss]

I aborted the dialog "Fetching tree conflict information" because that takes over half an hour on my working copy, which is not acceptable. But afterwards, I get an error when I click on "Accept incoming deletion", see screenshot.

Is this intended? I don't think that it should be necessary to get the tree info just to accept an incoming deletion.

Also, I don't understand why it takes so long to fetch the tree info, but that's most likely not TSVN's fault. And I don't understand why SVN searches from rev 4800 back to the rev 1 of my repo, when the branch was created around rev. 4500. There cannot be any tree conflicts prior to rev. 4500... Who is querying the tree info, TSVN or SVN?

That error simply tells you that in this case, resolving with "Accept incoming deletion" requires the data from "Fetching tree conflict information". But you can (probably) still use the other resolving options.

Since TSVN does not know which resolving option requires that info, it has to show all options. But you'll get an error if the info is missing.

So the error is genuine and intended to inform you about the problem.
