In trying to commit an update, I'm getting the following message:
Error Commit failed(details follow) Error MERGE request failed on '/svn/boost/branches/serialization_next_release/regression' Error 'pre-commit" hook failed with error output:
And that's it - no indication of what I might to do permit this go through.
Any help appreciated.
I also got this message when file type was wrong/no registered in MY config file.
eg .qbk
Is it a funny type?
The lack of an error message seems to be a bug in some versions of the Subversion client. I haven't found a workaround (yet), but we should keep looking. The Subversion repository is probably rejecting your file because it doesn't have a mime-type. Does your Subversion config file have the following in the auto-props section? *.qbk = svn:eol-style=native; svn:keywords=Id; svn:mime- type=text/plain This line was added late to http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ BoostSubversion , so not everyone has added it into their local config files. This will assign appropriate properties to a .qbk file when you "svn add" it, and get past the pre-commit checker. - Doug
