I'm having a weird subversion problem on my linode.

I can update my working copy, but not commit it, it just hangs. However, I can commit the same working copy from another computer, where I checked out the same working copy.

snip of hanging for 43 seconds (it'll hang for minutes, I just got impatient):

****************
Xsvn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Caught signal
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: '/home/thartman/learning/haskell/mainArena/svn-commit.2.tmp'

thartman@linodewhyou:~/learning/haskell$ svn update
At revision 1431.
thartman@linodewhyou:~/learning/haskell$

It's been working fine for months, then just went wonky.

Anyone ever seen anything like this?

Where is the subversion repository stored? How do you access it - http, https, svn, locally? What version of subversion is on the client and server computers? What backend is the subversion server using?

Andrew

first off, after misbehaving for about two hours, it works again now.

but to answer your question, I would check out a repo with eg,

svn co http://myhost.com/mypath

Info for the specific path in my above question:

Guess I'll just chalk it up to gremlins.
