Question

I’ve got problem with local copy of SVN folder

$ svn up
svn: REPORT of '/svn-xxx/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read chunk size: connection was closed by server (http://127.0.0.1)
$ svn cleanup
$ svn up
svn: REPORT of '/svn-xxx/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read chunk size: connection was closed by server (http://127.0.0.1)
$ svn status
!       .
!       TM
?       newTM/backup

I do not want to delete and restore whole folder because it contains many additional, ignored stuff

On another exported copy, with the same server, everything works flawlessly.

How can I proceed with svn up ?

Answer 1

I would probably go with copying all files as you suggested (voted up)

• Checkout to new folder

• Copy all from old to new without overwriting and without .svn

  rsync -av --exclude=.svn --ignore-existing old/ new/
