Description
Get an error committing when replacing a sym link with a regular file. Workaround is to do it a commit after the delete, then add the new file and commit again. Seems like some sequencing of the transactions is needed. Here's what happens: ls -l route route -> ../bin/busybox svn del route D route cp rfs/sbin/route . svn stat ~ route svn add route A (bin) route svn status ~ route svn commit -m "Replacing link with binary" svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Entry '/home/mvm/sb/fsi102/ramdisk_fsi/sbin/route' has unexpectedly changed special status svn del route svn: 'route' is in the way of the resource actually under version control rm route svn status ! route svn del route D route svn stat D route svn commit -m "Replacing link" Deleting sbin/route Committed revision 452.
