Unable to commit to Subversion

You can clear this error w/out a reboot:

  1. Identify (or create) a directory in the root SVN repository that was not a part of the failed commit.

  2. Create a new file in the directory from step 1.

  3. Commit the new file (and directory if created in step 1). Because the file is new, it doesn’t conflict w/the previous commit and can update the revision # on the server.

  4. Commit the original files/directories.

  5. Delete the new file (and directory if created in step 1).

  6. Commit the entire tree.

**Steps 5 & 6 aren’t required, but I like to keep my repository tidy…

I get this error a lot b/c SVN frequently conks out in the middle of committing my large files, which in turn causes subsequent commits to try to write to the revision that was interrupted.
