Solving problems with Subversion

Posted by Alberto - 07/11/09 at 07:11:24 pm

While I was updating my local copy of a SVN repository, I got this error:

Can’t copy / move ‘.svn-base’ to ‘.tmp’: The system cannot find the file specified.

The problem was that there were two files in the repository whose names differed only in case (e.g., File.txt and file.txt). This is possible in Unix-based systems, but not in Windows. So due to I was using a Windows computer, I couldnt update my local copy. I you have this problem, just delete or rename one of the files in the repository.
