I’m using Visual Studio 2008 for a C# project; we’re also using (company mandated) Subversion and Tortoise. After getting the latest files uploaded by my colleague, the project won’t compile for me because I get the err msg:

“Files has invalid value “<<<<<<< .mine”. Illegal characters in path.”

A search revealed that this is in a file named “GOHRFTracker.csproj.FileListAbsolute.txt”

I guess this (FileListAbsolute) is a Subversion-generated file. So why is it needed in order to compile? Can I simply delete the file, rename it, remove the offending “<<<<<<< .mine” or…???

    <<<<<<<<<.mine is a merge conflict marker, it arises when there are unresolved conflicts. It happens when two users commits the same file having conflicting changes.

    Solution is:

    Open the conflicted file and remove “<<<<<<<<<.mine” line.

    Hope this helps.
