Critical Description
the following error happened:
svn_error: #21058 : <Working copy text base is corrupt>
apply_textdelta: checksum mismatch for
'./bla/.svn/text-base/RegFunctions.java.svn-base'
recorded checksum: utE4opbEYDdcoRuSCsIVeQ==
actual checksum: Nb8fNtvt9aG+A4KHYDqoxg==
it happenend with two working copies, one on nt, one
on unix. prerequisits:
1. the server had a broken post-commit hook
2. the client on nt had a broken diff3 (not in path)
i think the following is broken:
- a failure in the post-commit-hook
should NOT prevent the update on
the wc (the update is done in
the repository).
karl thinks this is related to
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=443
personally, i don't think a failure of the post-commit
hook is an error in the sense of version control (maybe a warning?).
- a failure in merging should not result in a checksum error
(karl: either all necessary updates in wc happen, or none happen:
- revision number is updated
- text base is updated
- checksum is updated
)
- there should be NO checksum error presented to the user:
IF there is a checksum error, then
why not merge it anyway? is a different
checksum not THE indicator for
"please merge"?
(karl: In
general, if we are sending svndiff data based on a text-base, OR
receiving svndiff data to apply against a text-base, then we use the
local checksum to make sure that text-base is still okay.)
--> as svn user, i don't gain anything from that error. I have to
fix it via save away the old textbase, delete the supposedly corrupted
thing, svn up, and then merge the old and new. i would prefer if svn
does this for me.
used versions:
alpha build on unix (server/client).
first, alpha build, then newest "install.exe" from the
download section (alpha+?).
what one ;) did:
1. on nt (alpha version)
update to a file
svn ci, got the "hook error"
svn up, got the "merge error"
tried to do a "svn up", "svn revert",
"svn cleanup" (can't remebmer the oder
and how often i did it).
2. on unix
update to the same file
svn ci, got the "hook error"
svn up, got the change to the working copy
3. on the server
fixed the broken hook
4. did another update and commit to the same
file on unix
5. on nt, uninstalled alpha, installed alpha+
5a. tried the "svn up", got the diff3 error
again.
6. fixed the path to make diff3 work
7. tried to do a "svn up", "svn revert",
"svn cleanup" (can't remebmer the oder, did
a cleanup to get rid of the lock)
but the final error is the "checksum error"
on "svn up"
