Svn Commit Failed (details Follow)
Visher 7,677114961 9 did you try svn up? –Sklivvz♦ Sep 17 '08 at 21:41 2 a trivial problem-avoider is: if deleting a folder and contents, delete only the contents first, svn, then delete the folder, then svn again. –Joe Blow Nov 21 '14 at 13:36 Related note: subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/… –bahrep Jan 18 at 16:58 add a comment| 29 Answers 29 active oldest votes up vote 483 down vote accepted I sometimes get this with TortoiseSVN on windows. The solution for me is to svn update the directory, even though there are no revisions to download or update. It does something to the metadata, which magically fixes it. share|improve this answer answered Sep 17 '08 at 21:52 Michael 5,87631631 11 This did the trick for me, thanks! –lima Apr 6 '09 at 22:40 3 I changed the svn:ignore property of a folder, and started getting the out of date error. But as you said, just updating it worked. –Sushant Oct 21 '09 at 6:49 4 When I try to update that directory, I get "svn: Two top-level reports with no target" One more reason to hate SVN. With git, I never had this type of stupid problem with basic operations like moving a directory. –Dan Dascalescu Jun 5

I originally thought this had to do with the use of samba mounted work spaces but I've seen http://stackoverflow.com/questions/815604/how-do-i-avoid-svn-out-of-date-problems it happen remotely with svn+ssh as well.

I believe you are genuinely out of date and just need to run "svn update". share|improve this answer edited May 4 '13 at 7:43 Roman Luštrik 33.9k1372121 answered May 2 '09 at 21:10 Naaff 7,80422742 2 Thanks, running svn up at the top level seemed to fix the problem. –Dana the Sane May 2 '09 at 21:12 New URL for the FAQ entry: subversion.apache.org/faq.html#wc-out-of-dat
when trying to commit Posted by Mark Lucas (WANdisco) on 17 March 2010 09:59 AM Summary: "Working copy is out of date" when trying to commit Applies to: Subversion, all versions Three kinds of situation that https://support.wandisco.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/216/18/working-copy-is-out-of-date-error-when-trying-to-commit can cause this: 1. Debris from a failed commit is littering your working copy. You may have had a commit that went sour between the time the new revision was added in the server and the time your client performed its post-commit admin tasks (including refreshing your local text-base copy). This might happen for various reasons including (rarely) problems in the database back out of end or (more commonly) network dropouts at exactly the wrong time. If this happens, it's possible that you have already committed the very changes you are trying now to commit. You can use 'svn log -rHEAD' to see if your supposed-failed commit actually succeeded. If it did, run 'svn revert' to revert your local changes, then run 'svn update' to get your own changes out of date back from the server. (Note that only 'svn update' brings your local copies up-to-date; revert doesn't do that.) 2. Mixed revisions. When Subversion commits, the client only bumps the revision numbers of the nodes the commit touches, not all nodes in the working copy. This means that in a single working copy, the files and subdirectories might be at different revisions, depending on when you last committed them. In certain operations (for example, directory property modifications), if the repository has a more recent version of the node, the commit will be rejected, to prevent data loss. See Mixed revisions have limitations in the Version Control. You can fix the problem by running 'svn update' in the working copy. 3. You might be genuinely out of date — that is, you're trying to commit a change to a file that has been changed by someone else since you last updated your copy of that file. Again, 'svn update' is the way to fix this. Last edit: mlucas 17th Mar 2010 (3 vote(s)) This article was helpful This article was not helpful Comments (0) Help Desk Software by Kayako fusion
