Question

I can t perform any Subversion operations on my Eclipse project as Subclipse can t rename a file. The error is:

Caused by: org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: svn: Cannot rename file  /Users/damianharvey/Sites/Odyssey3.5/OdysseyEDIJAXB/src/com/locuslive/edi/edifact/d95b/coreor/.svn/tmp/entries  to  /Users/damianharvey/Sites/Odyssey3.5/OdysseyEDIJAXB/src/com/locuslive/edi/edifact/d95b/coreor/.svn/entries

I m running OSX Snow Leopard, Eclipse 3.5, Subclipse 1.6.5.

It looks like a permissions problem. If I list the directories in the error I get:

drwxrwxrwx   8 damianharvey  staff   272 19 Nov 17:43 .
drwxrwxrwx  16 damianharvey  staff   544 21 Sep 14:53 ..
-r--r--r--   1 damianharvey  staff  2030 21 Sep 14:53 all-wcprops
-r--r--r--   1 damianharvey  staff  2313 21 Sep 14:53 entries
drwxrwxrwx   2 damianharvey  staff    68 21 Sep 14:53 prop-base
drwxrwxrwx   2 damianharvey  staff    68 21 Sep 14:53 props
drwxrwxrwx  15 damianharvey  staff   510 21 Sep 14:53 text-base
drwxrwxrwx   6 damianharvey  staff   204 19 Nov 17:19 tmp

So I assume that it s the read-only permissions that is preventing this. If I try to chmod this to a very broad 777:

sudo chmod 777 /Users/damianharvey/Sites/Odyssey3.5/OdysseyEDIJAXB/src/com/locuslive/edi/edifact/d95b/coreor/.svn/entries
chmod: Unable to change file mode on /Users/damianharvey/Sites/Odyssey3.5/OdysseyEDIJAXB/src/com/locuslive/edi/edifact/d95b/coreor/.svn/entries: Operation not permitted

Any ideas? Would quite like to commit my code.

Many Thanks.

No worries. Aunty Google found it for me

chflags -R nouchg .

From the comments here:

If you re changing workspaces on OS X and you import an SVN-based project into your new workspace, some of your files may have the uchg flag set. SubClipse/SVN will not be able to update this project. You will get an error:

svn: Cannot rename file

every time you try invoke svn. If you issue:

chflags -R nouchg .

at the top-level of the project directory this will clear these flags and restore SVN function.
