SVN error on commit: "svnlook: Path 'path/to/dir' is not a file"

606 Views Asked by At

Whenever I'm trying to commit the changes through TortoiseSVN, I get below errors,

svnlook: Path 'path/to/dir' is not a file

I tried below solutions,

  • Clean repo by Settings > Saved data
  • New checkout

This is happening only for specific directory and it's contents, rest files are fine. The directory is, https://github.com/simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp

Update: We are using SVN for versioning and we integrated above simplesamlphp library into our code. Now we are trying to commit into SVN while committing I'm getting above error

Please make sure you don't have anything unintended in the Hook Scripts section of your TortoiseSVN settings. However, I suspect that whoever manages the repository has installed a server-side hook that is broken. If that's the case, there's probably nothing you can do about that, apart from warning the repo owners.
