SVN error resolving case

User Rating: / 1

As with most errors experienced when using a application this error is less then self-explanatory.  That said it is a simple type error.  svn: error resolving case of is caused by the incorrect use of slashes.  I have come across this a number of times when working on windows.  The reason is the svn expects / and not \ but when using windows slashes are \ and not /.  To resolve this simple change you slash direction as in our example below. In this example we will look at an import to a local file:/// but this applies to all cases.

c:\>svn import -m "New import" myproj file:///c:\svn\repos\proj
svn: error resolving case of 'c:\svn\repos\proj'

To resolve this we simply change the \ in the address to /.

c:\>svn import -m "New import" myproj file:///c:/svn/repos/proj
