Subversion commit failed Merge of file: 200 OK

Question

I am having the strangest problem ... every time i commit i get and error like this:

commit failed (details follow): MERGE of '/svn/project/trunk/web/directory/': 200 OK (http://mydomain.com)

that is the directory of the file i modified.

Later Edit i have web dav SVN installed and i commit to a HTTP URL. and there is a post commit hook doing a svn update on a directory on the same machine

Any ideas ? thank you for your help.

You'll get that error if your post-commit is failing. Try running it from the command line with the same args to make sure it works properly. I had this error a week or two ago when my python script was erroring out.

Solution 2

I found this and this on Google... Might be helpful?

Looks like it's tied to the post-commit failing. However, it's probably actually committed.

Solution 3

This is a post-commit related error.

Debug your post-commit script, generally inside your repository directory:

.../projectname/svn/hooks/post-commit

In the past I had a similar error message due to a syntax error in a post-commit email script

Try enabling Proxy Server in Tortoise, under Settings/Network option.

Solution 5

I've encountered the same problem when I had made many changes and prepared to commit to CodePlex. I've tried do it on command line, but failed too. I have to revert my project and split my changes to some smaller ones and commit one by one. Then it's OK.

But I doesn't know WHY.

Got the same problem and it was indeed post-commit failing. Why this message is so cryptic??

You are right, on CodePlex it fails if you do large commits (like comming from merges). If you do smaller commits it works, it's OK.

Had the same problem. Thanks, jvenema.
