SVN submit db\transactions\106-43.txn\props The system cannot find the file specified

Question

While submitting my changes this error popped up from AnkSvn:

SharpSvn.SvnException: Commit failed (details follow): ---> SharpSvn.SvnException: Can't open file '\\dfs.coteng.com\coteng\cotengitbright\visualsvn\repositories\Coteng.DSAutomation\db\transactions\106-43.txn\props': The system cannot find the file specified.

A similar message is shown when trying to submit with TortoiseSVN.
What does this props file do and does anybody know the possible root cause for this?

Answer 1

I expect that the props file is related to the revision properties for the commit (called a transaction at this stage, or txn). Are you accessing a local repository, or is it remote?

It looks to me like something is going wrong on the server (or repository) side of this while it's creating the new commit. Maybe a disk filled up, or permissions are wrong, or filesystem corruption... don't really know.

Can you provide any additional context?
