Common SVN Errors
These errors seem to occur frequently, either while using SVN at the command-line, or when attempting to use Eclipse or Netbeans.
"Attempted to lock an already-locked dir"
This error message can be very annoying. It seems to occur"
- after an SVN operation fails
- after a network problem occurs
- after an OS crash
In any case, the local SVN repository seems corrupt. To fix this at the command line, navigate to the affected directory and run this command:
~/myproject>svn cleanup
Or in Eclipse/Netbeans, find the "Cleanup" menu item under the SVN menu.
