I have a commit error such as below message though I've tried "Clean Up" and "Revert" command. Is there any comments for checking ? I don't remember why it doesn't work.

Command: Commit  
Error: Commit failed (details follow):  
Error: Can't create directory 'C:\Program Files  
Error:  (x86)\EasyTrac\Data\SVN\Squerrel\db\transactions\20-1.txn': Access denied.

Solution

  • The third line of the error message should be enough:

    Error: Can't create directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\

    Well, of course you can not create files in C:\Program Files. At least not without removing a lot of security features.

    You have to change the repo directory to something else, to a place where you've got write access to.
