You need to specify the errors you see on the client and in the server's log (if any).

Please also specify the version of the TortoiseSVN client and your Subversion server. And if the server is behind a reverse proxy, load balancer, or something like that.

Hi,

I agree that it would be easier to help if there were a description of the specific steps, with the expected behaviour and observed behaviour.

However, one issue that I have experienced with Excel spreadsheets is that TortoiseSVN activity can be interrupted if the file is already open in the client. I expect that Excel opens the file with access options that preclude the file being properly accessed from other applications, including TortoiseSVN. Perhaps, the PDF viewing/editing application does something similar. It might not be your issue, but may be worth considering.

Hope this helps.

This looks like corruption in the repository on the Subversion server. Can you restore a backup and try again?

I believe questions about this is better answered on us...@subversion.apache.org since there is more expertise in the lowlevel functionality.

Kind regards,

Daniel

As Daniel has noted, the users@ Apache Subversion is an appropriate place for your request. The problem in this email thread is not about TortoiseSVN, but Apache Subversion in general. Your repository is corrupt, and TortoiseSVN has nothing to do with that.

I want to give you several pointers, though.

1. The repository is corrupt. To confirm this, you can run the svnadmin verify command on the server. If you are using VisualSVN Server, then you can use the Test-SvnRepository PowerShell cmdlet and the background verification jobs.

2. The best approach to solve the problem is to restore a backup of this repository. You have backups, right?

3. Check the health of your storage. And make sure that in future you regularly create backups of your repositories and regularly verify your repositories.
