[Quantlib-dev] svn commit succeeds on server, fails locally

[eric e. <eri...@gm...>]

Hi All,

Has anyone been having problems using subversion?

For the last month or so, almost every time I commit a change, the
commit fails with the message "200 OK" similar to the following:

    Modified: erik\projects\trunk\QuantLibAddin\Clients\C++\qlxl_demo_market.xml
    Sending content:
erik\projects\trunk\QuantLibAddin\Clients\C++\qlxl_demo_market.xml
    Error: Commit failed (details follow):
    Error: MERGE request failed on
'/svnroot/quantlib/trunk/QuantLibAddin/Clients/C++'
    Error: MERGE of
'/svnroot/quantlib/trunk/QuantLibAddin/Clients/C++': 200 OK
(https://quantlib.svn.sourceforge.net)

After this I find that my local copy of svn thinks that the commit has
failed, whereas the repository on the server thinks that the commit
has succeeded.  If I do an svn update, svn attempts to merge changes
from the server into my local copy, finds that the files are the same,
then marks everything as up-to-date.  No email notification of my
commit is ever sent.

It appears to me that the commit itself is succeeding, and then some
subsequent operation on the back end - such as a post commit hook - is
failing.

I believe the error is unrelated to my local environment:
- I get the same error both with Tortoise SVN on Windows, and with svn
at the Linux command line
- I have tried completely deleting my local copy of the repository
followed by a fresh svn checkout
- I have updated to the latest version of svn

Has anyone had a similar problem?  Any idea what might be going wrong?

I've also reported the issue to SourceForge:
