[svk-users] svk smerge problem

[Richard Chen]

Hi,

    I have encountered a weird problem when doing svk smerge:

$ /usr/local/bin/svk smerge -C //mirror/thor //local/thor/
Auto-merging (1412, 1414) /mirror/thor to /local/thor (base /local/thor:1413).
Invalid filesystem revision number: No such revision 1418
Invalid filesystem revision number: No such revision 1451
...
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/SVK/Merge.pm line 572.
...
New merge ticket: 13e99f5f-6e40-43b8-c23d-81f177f99ac7:/:1330

    It does not seem to affect the rest of the updates.
But the msgs are worrisome.

    I thought this might be a problem in the svn repos,
so I tried

$ svnadmin recover /path/to/svn/repo
Repository lock acquired.
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...

Recovery completed.
The latest repos revision is 1409.

    But that did not stop the error messages when the next smerge
is done.

    Has anyone encountered this? I can take the drastic measure
of blowing aways the local svn repos and just create another one.
But it will be nice to know the cause and the fix for this.

System info:

redhat es 5 running perl 5.8.8

$ svk --version
This is svk, version v2.0.1 (using Subversion bindings 1.4.6)

Thanks for any info.

Regards

Richard
