Subversion reported a malfunction 'action == svn_wc_conflict_action_delete' on line 1550 of '..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_wc\update_editor.c

I have got this error when I'm trying get latest version from GitHub. Do you have nay experience on this error, please help me!!!

I tried with a complete new checkout and got the same error. Note that its only occurring when I'm checking out from Github. When I checkout from our local SVN repository, it works fine.

I have tried to find the issue, but unable to find any resolution by Googling.

This issue has been reported here as well by someone else and seems yet not resolved... http://subversion.1072662.n5.nabble.com/assert-triggered-in-update-editor-c-td117139.html

Moreover, the issue doesn't seems to be related to TortoiseSVN, because I tried to update repository using AnkhSVN from Visual Studio and I got same error.

I tried with updating local copy using command prompt svn update.. and got same error..

Updating '.':

Any idea how to fix it?

Solution

  • The same issue is reported to Github Support and they suggested us to use a standard SVN client, and specifically http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download. Trying to checkout the same repository using same works fine.

    If you are facing similar issue, try again with the SilkSVN or some other SVN client.
