Hello, Subversion list, I have reported this problem in the Fink SVN package yesterday. Since version 1.6.11, SVN crashes and corrups my checkouts.
> It seems like SVN is broken in the newest version in Fink.

Nobody could reproduce. However, Daniel, the SVN maintainer in Fink, recommended me to ran the test suite, which resulted in the following: Summary of test results: 2 tests SKIPPED 4 tests XFAILED 89 tests FAILED Little snip: Running all tests in diff-diff3-test [7/71]...FAILURE Running all tests in fs-pack-test [10/71]...FAILURE Running all tests in fs-test [11/71]...FAILURE Running all tests in locks-test [13/71]...FAILURE Running all tests in ra-local-test [17/71]...FAILURE Next to that, tests 30 to 69 all fail. I see *a lot* of errors like this in the tests.log, which indicate why some of the tests probably fail but may not directly indicate why SVN crashes: svn_tests: Can't remove 'test-repo-commit-date/transactions/0-0.txn/4c^D' svn_tests: Can't remove file 'test-repo-commit-date/transactions/0-0.txn/4c^D': No such file or directory FAIL: fs-test 20: commit datestamps Also for other "weird characters" other than ^D: svn_tests: Can't remove 'test-repo-split-fs1/db/4^S^C' svn_tests: Can't remove file 'test-repo-split-fs1/db/4^S^C': No such file or directory FAIL: ra-local-test 6: test svn_ra_local__split_URL correctness Shall I report these tests failing as a bug now, or can you first help me further by e-mail? Thank you, Sjors
