Workbench with SVN problems

[M.Rehberg]

We are using XP-Dev.com for our SVN Repository. We signed up with them last year, and they let us keep our large free account even thought they charge for these accounts now.

We do all the Checkout, Update, Commit, and Branch/Tags functions from within WindRiver Workbench. We don’t do anything by command line. We did load TortiseSVN because it is a great GUI for probing around and reporting on the status of the repository, but don’t use it to touch the files. That is one reason I went with SVN, because it was so well integrated into Workbench.

After last night we narrowed the problems down to two. The worst is the random event where during a checkout; the new project is not correct and cannot be used. It can take up to 5 tries before it will checkout correctly. The other is that we had trouble building projects where we changed the name of the project as it was being checked out. The build files still look for a few folders based on the name the original project was created with. We fixed this by picking unique names when the project is created the first time.

Thanks for the help.
