Ivan Zhakov updated SVN-4471:
-----------------------------
Description:
Using svn, version 1.8.5 (r1542147) compiled Nov 27 2013, 04:10:18 on
x86_64/x86-microsoft-windows5.1.2600
Given a working copy with the following structure:
{noformat}
- wc_root_dir
-- child_dir
--- file.txt
{noformat}
where:
{noformat}
svn status wc_root_dir
~ child_dir
! child_dir/file.txt
{noformat}
Assumming we are not aware of the previous states, run the following commands:
{noformat}
svn revert child_dir/file.txt
svn: E155009: Failed to run the WC DB work queue associated with
'/wc_root_dir/child_dir/file.txt', work item 2 (file-
install child_dir/file.txt. 1 0 1 1)
svn: E720087: Can't move '/wc_root_dir/.svn/tmp/svn-3884C5DC' to
'/wc_root_dir/child_dir/file.txt': The parameter is incorrect.
{noformat}
{noformat}
svn status child_dir
svn: E155037: Previous operation has not finished; run 'cleanup' if it was
interrupted
{noformat}
{noformat}
svn cleanup
{noformat}
Same error message as for "svn revert"
As you can see, the first command seems to "block" the working copy. Trying
{{svn status}} to see what are the states of the items involved (to know what
is wrong; we assume that we don't know that the parent item is obstructed) does
not work. {{svn cleanup}} does not help and any other command on the working
copy items is not working also.
So, I see two issues:
# SVN does not provide useful information in this situation. It should tell
what is the cause (parent item being obstructed, found a file instead of a
directory etc.) to help the user understand the problem. Now, the error
messages look like there is a bug in the SVN library (WC DB work queue, 1 0 1
1) or maybe the user did not provide proper command options/parameters (the
parameter is incorrect).
# the working copy is "blocked", no other command works until you figure out
which is the item causing this, to remove it from disk. At a point, I thought
the working copy is corrupted and I need to check out again.
After exchanging some messages on the mailing list, the conclusion was that, at
least, the error messages (#1) should be improved, to help the user solve the
issue, and save time instead of searching through the working copy structure
for items that might look "strange".
