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 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.
I think that's caused by files in SVN that have names with illegal characters for NTFS in them. For example "*" is not allowed in NTFS, but it is on Mac OS X and GNU/Linux.
Strange that it didn't show up before in cvs. My local cvs copy doesn't have that file. Maybe it was quietly dropped.
