svn report request failed ‘no such revision’

Posted by Matt on August 21, 2007

What a night! For some reason Subversion decided to take a total shit on me. Well, one thing I did awhile back may have come back to bite me in the ass, but I’m not sure why now. Basically when I ported my existing web application at work over to CakePHP, I was kind of liberal with the case of some filenames. After realizing my error, I ‘svn mv’ those files, but that isn’t the prefered method I reckon. Thank God I didn’t lose anything life-threatening (just 85 revisions), so I just created a new repository and initial imported my existing code base into that.
