Everytime I try to commit files to SVN I got the following error.
Command Commit
Modified D:\Project\src\WebSite\SomePage.aspx.cs
Sending Content D:\Project\AKent\src\WebSite\Test\SomePage.aspx.cs
Commit succeeded, but other errors follow:
Error bumping revisions post-commit (details follow):
Can't set file 'D:\Project\AKent\src\WebSite\Test\SomePage.aspx.cs'
read-write: Access is denied.
After I get this error, SVN doesnt allow me to update or commit anything! And what is really frustrating me is that the project folder is around 2 GB and every night I download it from SVN over and over.
Please help me to fix it! I just wanna know what is wrong with my SVN. I tried reinstalling, didn't fix anything.
I had the same problem but fixed. My solution is:
1. Run Command Prompt as Administrator
2. Navigate to the target working copy
3. svn cleanup
The error
read-write: Access is denied.
indicates that svn can not access the file or can't set all attributes it needs to that file.
Now that either means you have not full access to those files or some other application has the file opened exclusively.
In the first case: make sure that your username has full access to all folders and subfolders of your working copy. Note that on Vista/Win7 it's not enough to be an admin - you have to give yourself full access to such files manually.k
In the second case: disable windows search indexer for your working copy, and exclude the working copy from being scanned by your virus scanner.
If you are sharing a svn versioned folder using samba and running into this issue when acessing it from windows machine, try:
http://tortoisesvn.net/faq.html#samba
Also add to your smb.conf file:
dos filemode = yes
copy the wrong folder (1) to another folder(2)
delete the wrong folder (1)
copy the backup(2) to (1)
Hope this approach works for you too!
I was trying to revert a file but was receiving the error listed in the OP's post. Soony's answer just about worked for me. I cannot comment or edit that answer, so I had to copy their answer and add a small step at the end. S/he deserves all the credit.
Run Command Prompt as Administrator
Navigate to the target working
copy svn cleanup
svn revert [filename]
(the revert did not work in Windows Explorer/TortoiseSVN integrated tools, I had to do it from the cmd line)

I recently updated a chroot on an old Chromebook from Ubuntu bionic to focal. The chroot has encryption enabled.
I usually work with Git repositories and other files within the Chrome's Downloads folder and haven't had any issues with this previously.
Since the update though, I found I was unable to run things like git clone -- I get an error saying cannot create worktree dir: no such file found. I looked around and found people had similar problems but there's been no clear solution.
Then I decided to look inside one of the existing folders within Downloads and noticed a problem there...
I can open a repo within my Downloads folder on ChromeOS and see all files as I used to.
I can enter-chroot and run ls on the same folder and see all files as I used to there too.
But when I launch the chroot/crouton (I used xfce4), and try to ls the folder from within the terminal, or even look at the folder contents from a UI window, the contents of the repo look encrypted -- as in all the filenames have changed to strings of equal-length and apparently random characters.
It's almost as if encryption is working in reverse -- so my files are unencrypted outside the crouton, but as soon as I go into the xfce UI, they're encrypted and there's no decryption happening. But that's speculation on my part...
Any ideas as to what is going on here? And how I can continue to work within crouton?
It seems this is to do with the fact that Chrome OS encrypts files and that something had happened since I updated Crouton (rather than my updating Ubuntu from Bionic to Focal).
I realised this was a bigger issue when even command line tools like tar and git (which I'd installed) weren't working.
When I tried to unpack a download of Firefox with tar xjf I got an error saying "Required key not available". Some searching around that led me to issue #3261 on the Crouton Github repo.
The solution for me was:
Ensure /etc/pam.d/su-l was writable. (I did ls -l /etc/pam.d/su-l to check but ultimately used sudo...)
Edit the file /etc/pam.d/su-l. (I used sudo vi /etc/pam.d/su-l to ensure the file wasn't read-only in that instant, and because I had no other text editor options but vi available.)
Comment out the line session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke. (So it should read # session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke.
Save the file.
Restart the chroot.
For school we use git to submit things. Every question here seems to be dealing with GitHub and isnt answering my specific question.
In our lab we were attempting to download the files but the prof was having issues on his end. He was asking me to try some commands etc. Anyways we did this:
ssh csci fork csci/Labs csci/$USER/Labs
git clone csci:csci/$USER/Labs
And it worked but the files had issues or something. He said he will get the sys admin to fix it. Then today he told me I need to delete my version on the server and just do it over again. I asked if I can just rm -r the folder but he said I need to delete the one on the git server - he said he doesnt know the command but I should be able to look it up.
I tried
git remote remove csci/Labs
but that did not work. I already deleted the local folder (before he told me about it actually) using rm -r Labs, and saying yes to the delete this git file warnings or whatever. So Im not sure where to go from here to delete it.
A repository is just a directory with working copy (though it is optional) and .git, so deleting the directory deletes the repository. To delete a remote repository you need to have access to the remote filesystem.
Try to run which should work also.
rm -rf .git
I can do checkouts, update and such. But when I try to commit changes, SVN gives me the following error:
Can't open file '/svn/p/pokemonium/code/db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied
I am using Windows 7 x64 SP1 with latest version of TortoiseSVN.
UAC is off, my account has read and write access, etc.
I can commit fine to other svn repositorys.
For me it ended up being a permissions issue on the server. I have my repo on a linux box, and ssh in to use svnadmin. For convenience sake, I had executed my create repository command as root. I was looking to get source I had on my Windows box into the repo, so was using TortoiseSVN to set up trunk/branches/tags. The directory containing the repo on the server was owned by root, and Tortoise was coming in as apache. I chowned the directory on the server to apache:apache, and it all went smoothly.
chown apache:apache -R my_repo_root
This is a server configuration issue. On windows host Visual SVN server runs under NETWORK SERVICE account by default. I solved this problem by granting full access rights to the repository folder to this account. Another option is switching Visual SVN service to the SYSTEM account, but that could pose a potential security risk.
Try this.
Make a back up copy of your working copy (just to be safe).
Make another copy your entire working copy off somewhere else.
Take the copy and delete all of the SVN folders out of it
Delete your working copy and do a fresh checkout
now copy/paste your corrupted working copy over your fresh checkout.
it is critical for this to work that you have completely removed ever _svn or .svn folder from your corrupted working copy before you perform the copy/paste.
This will leave you (hopefully) with a working copy that shows (!) on all the files you had modified since your last commit. And fixes your lock issue.
I had the same problem after I re-installed Windows 7 and just copied the SVN Repository from the old Windows to the new one.
After trying the steps that Mr. Manager proposed, the problem was still not fixed in my case.
After making sure that the permissions was setup correctly for the SVN Repository folder I just deleted the file 'txn-current-lock' in the /db folder of the project. That fixed it for me. From thereon I could commit my project again.
I had faced same issue on Unix box
Restarting the Apache service of the SVN server solved myproblem.
-f httpd.conf -k stop
-f httpd.conf -k start
In my own case, my linux server had been restarted after a power loss. The file system remained mounted as read-only since some journal repairs had been made. Rebooting the machine restored full function.
permissions worked for me too
error
repo/db/txn-current-lock: Permission denied
fix
chown apache:apache -R my_repo_root
I am new to use svn and the company in which I work uses three levels (I don't know whether this is a correct word to use here) of svn. I mean the developers are provided a working directory on a testing server. When we commit, it goes to the dev server. When a manager commits it from there it goes to production server. I am a developer here and one of my files is giving error (conflict) when I commit from directory. Not only, but also it gives conflict when manager tries to commit. I am now given access as manager too but I am still unable to resolve it.
What I've tried till now:
svn update
svn delete
svn commit
It gives conflict on all of these operations.
Earlier on a simple error happened and the manager preferred to just delete file on dev, copy it manually and then commit from there. I don't know this may be a reason of this problem or not.
Please help me resolve this issue. I've read some things in read-bean book too but to no avail yet.
Thanks
Ok, here's the update. The actual problem is that a file (ex lib/a.php) used to be in my working directory as well as in dev and production servers. Now it was deleted by someone (using del command, not svn delete) from dev server. Now question here is how I add it again so that it becomes part of svn again. The simple svn add doesn't work.
Update 2
From one of the answers below I understood that its a tree conflict. Some searching brought me to http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.tour.treeconflicts.html . Following the instructions, I took the backup of the file and then svn delete it from everywhere. Then I svn add it to my directory, commit it and tried to update dev and production. End result is that it doesn't go there. No error is shown either.
svn info in my directory shows complete info of the file but on dev and production it shows
file_name: (Not a versioned resource)
:S
Any more ideas please?
Alternatively you can take backup of the file ,then say svn revert filename insert you new code.Do a svn up just to make sure you do not have any conflicts,and then commit
Or
fix the conflicts in the file and then you can say svn resolved filename and then you can continue operations on the file
Update:If your file is deleted using rm or del command use svn revert filename to get it back and you do not have to add it again.Just put in your new changes and say svn ci -m"your comments" filename
svn revert will fetch back the last checked in copy into SVN and it wouldnt have your any changes made before the user had used del command
Update 2:After u say svn delete ,u need to commit it until u get the message Deleting filename with a new revision number.Then add the file using svn add command,then commit again.Once this is done you can check the svn info, let me know..
Use svn status command to know the status of the file
The only problem apart from this i can think of is this the directory may not have been added.Is this a new directory?
ah, the old tree conflict problem.
The issue is that SVN is letting you know that you're adding a file that used to be there but it cannot tell whether you're trying to delete it, add it or just update it! So it does the only thing it can - flags a conflict so you can sort it out and fix it. Its basically a conflict on the directory level (rather than a conflict of a file's contents).
What you do is resolve the error (as others have pointed out), then update the directory to get the original file back, then commit your changes. Note that the file was never deleted from SVN - its still in the repo, and if you checkout out a new WC, you'd get the file.
Try to resolve the conflicts then commit again:
svn resolve --accept working
When I trying to commit I get this error. What that was done, I think is a rename of the folder. I tried already rename / move the folder. But I continue to get the error.
Command: Commit
Error: Commit failed (details follow):
Error: File 'Page.aspx' is out of date
Error: File not found: transaction '99-4a', path '/trunk/src/Solution.UI/Views/ViewName/Page.aspx'
Error: You have to update your working copy first.
I do try to update, but unfortunately is doesn't solved the problem.
Command: Update
Completed: At revision: 99
Edit: after the deleted the files from the folder, do update to restore them, and replace the restored files with the originals I get this error:
Error: Commit failed (details follow):
Error: Base checksum mismatch on '/trunk/src/Solution.UI/Views/ViewName/Page.aspx':
Error: expected: ed3bc4a70ee4256bd2f7cf8c57f29a1f

SVN knows that there was a change in the repository, but it does not know what that changes was. You might have made exactly the same change on your working copy, but unless you actually try to do update so that SVN can run the resolve, it won't check that your local change is the same as the repo change.
Do an svn update and the conflict resolution should be automatic. Though, if you've made changes to the same files, it might ask you to manually resolve even if it's exactly the same change (Even more likely if the change was a folder rename)
You might have to do also an svn resolved to enforce the manual conflict resolution.
Worst come to worst, you can always copy the files you've changed, revert local changes, update and replace the files in the new folder.
I'm using TortiseSVN, and encountered the problem you're having.
Attempted effort: Delete a directory and the files in it.
My resolution path (entire effective procedure)
Select relevant files. Right-click | TortiseSVN | Delete
Response: Files marked for deletion.
Right-click on containing directory | TortiseSVN | Commit
Response: Files Deleted.
Right-click on the next-higher directory from the aforementioned containing directory | SVN Update
Response: Update complete.
Right-click on the directory I wish to delete | TortiseSVN | Delete
Response: Directory marked for deletion.
Right-click on the next-higher directory from the aforementioned directory-to-delete | SVN Commit
Response: Directory Deleted
Process Complete.
Do an "SVN Cleanup", then do an update
It looks like you have Page.asx in you working copy and it doesn't exist in repository anymore?
maybe try deleting it physically from your drive or if it's still needed just move it away to different location, try commiting and then add it again?
Sometimes you can get these strange broken working copy issues and despite trying everything, you can't get it to work again and you're completely unable to commit your work. One way to get out of this situation is to do the following:
Check out your project to a new folder.
Copy the modified files only from your old working copy to your new working copy. If you commit often this shouldn't take long. If you commit once a month, this could take some time...
Double check that the modifications list is the same on both working copies.
Commit from your new working copy.
Delete your old working copy and check it out again.
It's not very satisfying to do it this way as it doesn't show you what went wrong and why, but if you just want to get on with your work, then it's nice to know that there's a quick fix.
You have to update your working copy.
That is, perform an "SVN Update" in order to get the latest revision, and check to make sure your changes don't conflict.
I tried this solution and it works perfect for me .
1-Export the working copy to another Temp directory .
2-Delete all the files in your working directory
3-Check out in the working directory
4-copy the Files in the Temp directory to the working directory overwriting all existing files
5- Commit
You should just uncheck deleted or missing files when doing svn commit
