Description

Cannot update hermes:/var/qmail/badrcptto
Using apmail credentials:

Updating '/var/qmail/control':
svn: E000013: Can't move '/var/qmail/control/.svn/tmp/svn-XppDSv' to '/var/qmail/control/.svn/pristine/f4/f45610f44796265a7a2041f9bb9f083a42c13a3c.svn-base': Permission denied

This has worked in the past.

It looks like the problem is that the pristine/f4 directory has been used by root to commit some of the changes that are made locally.

A possible fix would be to update the root cron to revert ownership back to apmail after any commits.

N.B. for now I have updated the file locally
