Do file and directory names have a size limit when controlled by
subversion? I have a directory in my subversion project called
"foobarfoobar" and if I create a new directory "foobarfoobarfoo"
(notice the extra three characters), it confuses the two and moves
files from one to the other and tells me the longer one is already
under version control when I try to "svn add" it. Any help? Google
hasn't been forthcoming for me.
Dave, you drooling bafoon! You copied the .svn directories from
"foobarfoobar" when you created the "foobarfoobarfoo" directory! Do this
to fix it:
cd foobarfoobarfoo
find . -name .svn -exec rm -rfv {} \;
cd ..
svn add foobarfoobarfoo
svn commit -m "I'm dumb" foobarfoobarfoo
And now go fix the "foobarfoobar" directory because you told svn to do
strange things. If svn has a file name size limit, this ain't the
problem. In this case, it was user error.
