SVN Error (Can't set file)

Question

Everytime I try to commit files to SVN I got the following error.

Command            Commit
Modified           D:\Project\src\WebSite\SomePage.aspx.cs
Sending Content    D:\Project\AKent\src\WebSite\Test\SomePage.aspx.cs
Commit succeeded, but other errors follow:
Error bumping revisions post-commit (details follow):
Can't set file 'D:\Project\AKent\src\WebSite\Test\SomePage.aspx.cs'
 read-write: Access is denied.

After I get this error, SVN doesnt allow me to update or commit anything! And what is really frustrating me is that the project folder is around 2 GB and every night I download it from SVN over and over.

Please help me to fix it! I just wanna know what is wrong with my SVN. I tried reinstalling, didn't fix anything.

Answer 1

I had the same problem but fixed. My solution is:

1. Run Command Prompt as Administrator

2. Navigate to the target working copy 

3. svn cleanup 

Answer 2

The error

read-write: Access is denied.

indicates that svn can not access the file or can't set all attributes it needs to that file. Now that either means you have not full access to those files or some other application has the file opened exclusively.

In the first case: make sure that your username has full access to all folders and subfolders of your working copy. Note that on Vista/Win7 it's not enough to be an admin - you have to give yourself full access to such files manually.k

In the second case: disable windows search indexer for your working copy, and exclude the working copy from being scanned by your virus scanner.
