[svk-users] "Transaction is out of date" in smerge?

[Mark Eichin]

Anyone seen anything like this:

> Transaction is out of date: Out of date: '/branches/eichin/monster-merge-trial-1/XXX/YYY in transaction '72190-1'
> Please sync mirrored path /mirror/all/branches/eichin/monster-merge-trial-1 first.

in smerge (or anything else where the "please sync" message both
doesn't help, and doesn't make any sense?)  Pasting a die in to the
"Please sync" handler gets me this traceback:

The actual (sanitized) path in the original message doesn't actually
matter - based on a comment elsewhere in the list, I cleaned out
$SVKROOT/cache and the path changed (repeating the command gives a
consistent report, but clearly something odd is going on if nuking the
cache changes it, and the point where it fails seems fairly random
anyway - in the middle of a large directory, as it turns out.)

I'm poking around trying to reproduce a similar demo-repository (even
if it weren't proprietary, $SVKROOT/local is 56G so it isn't going
anywhere :-) but smaller cases have been succeeding... I'm asking at
least partly because someone might have a less tangled example...
