Re: Problem Using Git with Subversion Repository

Hello all,

Has anyone come across a similar problem as this?

Item already exists in filesystem: File already exists: filesystem
'/usr/local/svn/repos/my-apps/db', transaction '96-2v', path
'/app/trunk/vendor/rails/actionpack/test/fixtures/layout_tests/layouts/symlinked'
at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 508

I *think* what happened is in a previous git-svn dcommit I removed the
vendor/rails directory (unfroze rails from my app) and now I'm trying
to freeze it again, in which case git-svn thinks a file needs to be
added (instead of modified) and the Subversion repository says the
file already exists.

Hi Bryan,

Which version of git svn are you using?  Any chance we can take a look
at the SVN/git history to know what's going on?

Thanks.

Anyone know a way around it?!

Can you try manually removing that file with "svn rm" and then
doing "git svn rebase" to rebase your working HEAD before trying
to dcommit?
