Hi all, I tried running 'svn cleanup' from my externals directory but I get the same error. This is with cygwin svn 1.4.5 on WinXp.
weird. what comes to my mind is:
- are you sure you have enough space on your disk? (svn needs more
space than cvs, as it caches the original copy of a file)
I have about 40gigs free.
- i have encountered problems on w32 with "forbidden" filenames, such
as "AUX" and "COM", but this doesn't seem to be the case here...
- svn is less tolerant than cvs when it comes to collisions: e.g. if
you have a file "Hello.c" and a file "hello.c" in the same directory and your local filesystem is case-insensitive, the checkout will fail. nevertheless, i haven't find a case-problem in the gridflow/doc/flow_classess folder.
Just tried it again using TortoiseSVN and got the same error: Added: E:\pd_from_svn\externals\gridflow\doc\flow_classes\messageprepend-icon.png Added: E:\pd_from_svn\externals\gridflow\doc\flow_classes\listappend-icon.png Added: E:\pd_from_svn\externals\gridflow\doc\flow_classes\listelement-help.pd Error: Can't check path 'E:\pd_from_svn\externals\gridflow\doc\flow_classes\inv*-icon.png': The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Windows doesn't like files with * in the name. In fact if I try to make such a filename in Explorer I get a tooltip saying: A file name cannot contain any of the following characters: /:*?"<>|
The file inv*-icon.png definitely exists in the repository: http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/externals/gridfl...
I guess I'll have to check out the directories one at a time. I managed to check out everything using Ubuntu without incident.
