Has anyone any idea of what that might be causing the above ?
Background:
I have had both fpc and lazarus svn working for quite a while now,
at least a year - though this is my first attempt at an update for a
while. Both local repositories were set up in XP SP 2 using
tortosieSVN. I am now trying use SVN in ubuntu 8.1 on the same PC
(alternate boot), using the same local repository.
Is there any fundamental reason why I cannot do this ?
Well, one problem may be that most files in the FPC repository have
the "svn:eol-style native" property set. This means that when checking
out such a file under Linux, the line endings will #10, while under
Windows they'll be #13#10. I don't know whether svn may have a problem
with that when updating a copy checked out on one platform on the other.
At least this message says that sharing a working copy among different
OSes is discouraged under such circumstances: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2008-01/0883.shtml
Anyway, it seems to work for Lazarus, but I am getting "svn:
Decompression of svndiff data failed" for fpc, in both XP (tortoise)
and ubuntu (command line svn). Searching through the SVN
documentation for this error I only found references to the main
repository being corrupted, which isn't likely as lots of people
would have reported it by now.
Do you only get it with an update, or also with a fresh checkout? (I
also reproduce it with a fresh checkout)
