Every time I do a status on svn using terminal I get this file. ? svn-commit.8.tmp
I know its a failed commit comment file but how do I get rid of it. I don't know if I should rm it or how to deal with it.
svn commit will send any lock tokens that it finds and will release locks on all PATH s committed (recursively) unless --no-unlock is passed. Tip. If you begin a commit and Subversion launches your editor to compose the commit message, you can still abort without committing your changes.
Commit uploads your changes on the CVS / SVN server, and Update overwrites the files on your localhost with the ones on the server.
Removing it is just fine; it's unversioned and all of the text is stored in the SVN log anyways. If your commit fails, you can reuse it by calling:
svn commit -F svn-commit.tmp
subversion will then automatically remove your svn-commit.tmp
file.
Just rm
it.
The reason it's left behind when a commit fails is so that you don't lose the (potentially long) commit message that you just wrote -- you can open the file in a text editor and paste the text as the commit message of your next commit when you fix the problem that prevented your first commit.
