Hello,
I have run into the following issue with Subversion on cygwin. Note that
this problem does not occur when running the original Subversion
versions from subversion.tigris.org; unfortunately, the ones from
trigris.org do not work in a cygwin bash.
Ok, here is the description: Sometimes (!) when I do a "svn co" or "svn up",
I get the following error:
svn: Can't move 'src/arch/riscos/.svn/tmp/all-wcprops' to
'src/arch/riscos/.svn/all-wcprops': Permission denied
Note that the directory ('src/arch/riscos/') can be different.
Additionally, sometimes, it is not "all-wcprops", but the file
"entries".
To me, this seems to be related to the permissions of these files: 444
aka r--r--r--. It seems to fail to overwrite the file in
.svn/all-wcprops with the working copy from .svn/tmp/all-wcprops, as the
permissions are not set for writing.
As this error does not occur always, I would expect there is a race
between different code paths.
Note that a "svn switch" always results in the above error line. Thus,
for debugging purposes, using "svn switch" might be a much better
alternative.
This problems happens on two different computers, both running XP SP2. I
attached the output of "cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out" to this mail,
as requested on http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
Oh... If it is important, I have used DOS line endings when I installed
Cygwin. Additionally, today, I upgraded to the latest version, just to
make sure it is not fixed yet. Additionally, I could not find this
problem mentioned in this mailing list here.
Regards
Spiro.
