Hi all, I am in a big trouble with the Ankh plug in for visual studio 2010. I use VS 2010 RC using Ankh 2.1.7756.392. And every time I try to commit changes I get the following error:

SharpSvn.SvnException: Can't move '[solution path].svn\tmp\entries' to '[solution path].svn\entries': Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

I also use tortoise svn and it runs ok, but it's not very convenient to commit my changes with it. Also my team mate use the same software and it runs OK. He doesn't have any troubles at all. I tried reinstalling the plug-in - no help. Tried to delete my working copy and checkout everything again - no help again. The repository is run on separate server - not on my machine.

I could get any help with google, so I will appreciate any help. Thanks!

EDIT: Also I use Windows 7 and my working copy is on a mapped drive (using subst command). But my teammate is using the same way and it's working.

If you would have send your error to the AnkhSVN error list you would have received an automatic answer that this is a known issue for this specific version, but only on FAT and FAT32 filesystems which are generally not recommended for using as Subversion working copy anyway. (Some changes in the second after the subversion operation completes can't be detected on these filesystems)

You can resolve this issue by upgrading to the daily builds available on http://ankhsvn.net/daily

Well I'm new to SVN and didn't know about this error list. I thought it is something like MS' send report for error. Thanks. If I move my working copy to NTFS will this problem go away ?

If you click 'send error' in the AnkhSVN error dialog it is send to our error list. And while we generally don't reply to all exceptions personally we use that list for gathering error statistics. We usually send more information about known issues that aren't handled in the client yet.

Yes, moving your working copy to NTFS will work around this (and it will also make AnkhSVN and other Subversion clients operate faster on your working copy)

Thank you very much!
