[svk-devel] PROPFIND request failed on '....'

[Chisel Wright]

Has anyone seen anything like this before, or have any clue where to
start hunting?

---- cut here ----
ommitted revision 191 from revision 190.
Committed revision 192 from revision 191.
Unable to complete initial sync: Name does not refer to a filesystem
directory: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/xt/trunk/utilities/apache':
Failure opening '/trunk/utilities/apache'
Run svk sync //mirror/xt, and run the list command again.


Following the instructions doesn't help:

andrew at cwright-desktop:~$ svk sync //mirror/xt
Syncing http://napversion:515/svn/xt
Retrieving log information from 192 to 622
Name does not refer to a filesystem directory: PROPFIND request failed
on '/svn/xt/trunk/utilities/apache': Failure opening

andrew at cwright-desktop:~$ 
---- cut here ----

This is for a new account on the box, running "svk ls
http://napversion:515/svn/xt", so it created ~/.svk and //mirror
automatically.


We've been quite happily merging, updating, etc from the repository for
a while - revision 192 was at least a couple of weeks ago.

What seems to have happened recently that's the common thread with all
the errors we've been fighting today is:

  - user has directory something/ with sub folders
  - user removes something/
  - user creates soft_link something to ../../shared/something/
  - user checks in something [softlink]
  - user does !incremental smerge out to trunk/


Any ideas? Our repo seems mostly-shafted-but-just-about-usable at the
moment.
