Question

We have some company middleware and sometimes its difficult to find the correct version Im looking for so I often have to update to different versions to test them.

I usually checkout:

svn co svn+ssh://(username)@(ip)/srv/svn/intranet/trunk/PYTHON/<application> <local-application>

I then may update to a different version

svn update (path) -r (rev)

Most of the time after a few attempts this will cause the error Node remains in conflict

If I delete the folder and try to do a fresh checkout it just restores what I had. All I want to do is checkout a revision, I have made no changes and it still thinks there are conflicts.

Ive tried to resolve them, but nothing seems to work:

svn update -r 1586

Answer 1

I think the answer I was looking for here was

svn revert --depth=infinity inm

I dont care about keeping local changes, only to update to a new revision. I have used this command a few times now and it seems to do the trick

EDIT

Upon looking at my errors again I can see that a lot of the files were likely being changed by tests or builds. I should have added them to an ignore file so that their changes were not detected by svn.
