Subversion is at times really annoying and difficult to use due to its cryptic and confusing error messages and unnecessary failures. An example is when you have an svn-managed folder (‘svnProject’) where svn -u status and svn info and even commiting individual files work correctly but commit of the complete folder (which is necessary e.g. if you’ve changes some SVN proprties such as svn:ignore) fails:.../rootFolder/svnProject$ svn commit . svn: '/path/to/my/rootFolder' has no ancestry information There is an easy fix. Notice that the error is reported for the parent folder of the svn-managed one (from) which we’ve tried to commit. It actually seems that SVN checks the folder structure and fails if some parts of the folder tree above the folder being commited have svn metadata and some do not (another example): /path/to/my – has .svn/ folder (a totaly unrelated one, a left-over from the old times) rootFolder – no .svn here svnProject – has a valid .svn/ metadata folder, this is the project/folder we’re trying to commit Verification: You can verify that by moving the folder that you are trying to commit to some other location (e.g. /tmp or even /) and retrying to commit it from there. If it succeeds then you’ve encountered this problem. If not then you have likely some other issue. Solution: Check the ancestor folders (especially above the one reported in the commit failure message) and if you find an .svn/ folder in any of them, as I suppose, remove it. Alternatively, move the folder of interest into another location where it has no ancestor folder with .svn/ within it. Environment: SVN 1.4.6, on Ubuntu 10.04.

ancestry information". It took me a few (good) minutes and some searches on the Internet to find the solution for this problem. It seems that the SVN commit is forbidden if you try to commit a file that is a folders structure, and one of the nodes in it (not the top most parent) is missing the .svn folder. - folder1 [with .svn] - folder2 [without .svn] https://dzone.com/articles/svn-fun-path-has-no-ancestry - folder3 [with .svn] Committing "folder3" will bring that error message. Couldn't find the reason for this but, in my opinion, this is because the commit will try to update the ".svn" folders in the parent directories and will find a gap in this hierarchy.

more such svn warnings.1)Aborting commit- has no Ancestry informationEg: .../rootFolder/svnProject$ svn commit .svn: '/path/to/my/rootFolder' has no ancestry informationReason:While SVN checking for folder structure,if some parts of the folder tree above the folder being commited have svn metadata and some do not,this error will appear.Solution:Check the ancestor folders (especially above the folder reported in the commit failure message) and if you find an .svn/ folder in any of them,remove it. Alternatively, move the folder another location where it has no ancestor folder with .svn/ within it.2) Aborting commit: remains in tree-conflictReason: a) A file/directory is locally deleted but exists and is modified in the repository b) A file/directory was locally modified but is deleted in the repository.c) A file locally modified, but had been renamed in the repository.Solution:Keep a backup of the file/directory you are going to commit in other place,and delete the file/directory you tried to commit.Then take a svn up of it.
