This includes adjusting (if necessary) line ending style, keyword translation, and read/write/execute permissions. In other words, this may alter not only the file's permissions, but also its contents. You can see other examples of this post-commit processing in action. For example, create a test repository, add and commit a text file with CRLF line endings. Then, add a svn:eol-style property of "LF" to the file and commit again. Then, without running 'svn update' or any other commands that might make changes, check the contents of the file and you'll see that its line endings have changed to LF. Hope this helps! [1] See install_committed_file() in libsvn_wc/workqueue.c. Cheers, Nathan That makes sense! I wondered why the error popped up on a text file, instead of another file. Thank you for the details and explanation. I'm glad that SVN considers the commit successful, even though it can't alter the working copy, afterwards. -Kenneth
