Commit failed: "Repository UUID '...' doesn't match expected UUID '...'" when committing to Google Code from Eclipse on Windows

Question

I was able to work with all my projects on Google Code just fine, but now I can't commit to any of them. I get the error:

Some of selected resources were not committed. svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Repository UUID '2b3ccc6c-acbf-642b-775e-b44874e3cfdd' doesn't match expected UUID '2b06ef8f-344e-f67a-312d-ecb7346c3921'

(I am using Eclipse on Windows)

The same error occurs when I update.

Answer 1

You can fix this by correcting the UUID of the repository in the local SQLite3 subversion database. To do that, download sqlite3 from here:

http://www.sqlite.org/download.html

And put it somewhere on PATH so that the system knows about it. Then open the command prompt or your terminal (if you're on linux) in the directory that contains the repository .svn directory. Then open the subversion database file for editing like this:

sqlite3 .svn/wc.db

This will start a command a command line accepting SQL commands. Type in this command, replacing the UUID with the one that shows in your error message:

update REPOSITORY set uuid="2b3ccc6c-acbf-642b-775e-b44874e3cfdd" where id=1

Hit enter and CTRL+C to quit. Now you should be able to run your svn commit command again.

Answer 2

Your Working Copy is linked to Repository, which must have unique Identificator (UUID), which stored as a part of metadata in Working Copy and identity of stored UUID and contacted Repo's UUID is tested on operations, which can modify repository

For some reason, you try to communicate not to the same repository, from which your WC was created (same URL != same Repo)

Verify current UUIDs with svn info WC-PATH and svn info REPO-URL (REPO-URL for main repo and all "foreign", if externals used)

Repository UUID value must be the same
