Subversion commit failed on Mac OS X with error "no such table: rep_cache"

Question

I created a subversion repository, imported an empty structure, checked out the repo, added a file to the working copy and tried commiting the working copy with the following commands:

svnadmin create mysvn

svn import -m "initial empty structure" test/ file:///tmp/mysvn

svn co file:///tmp/mysvn mywc

svn ci -m "test"

The commit failed with the following error:

Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: While preparing '/tmp/mywc' for commit
svn: no such table: rep_cache

I am running Mac OS X 10.6.3 and subversion 1.6.5.

Did I miss any steps or Mac specific commands?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

After googling a bit I found this link: http://www.cumps.be/howto-installing-subversion-on-readynas-nv/#div-comment-1177 I'm not sure it's the same issue, but maybe it's worth a try.

Answer 2

For those that don't want to dig... edit fsfs.conf in your svn repository (the repository not the local copy) directory, uncomment the line (or add if it's not there):

enable-rep-cache = false

Worked like a charm for me!

Answer 3

Adding this to SVNREPOS/db/fsfs.conf

enable-rep-sharing = false

Worked for me. Using subversion 1.6.13 Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard.
