I have installed a new CentOS server for development with a Subversion repository and also a samba share to the www root. I made a checkout on the samba share and used that as a working copy. Unfortunately at most of the commits TortoiseSVN was throwing an error, something like this:
tortoise svn commit succeeded, but other errors follow…
error bumping revisions post-commit…
I didn’t know that this is because of the samba share permissions but after some research i learned the cause. There is an easy fix for this and you can find it here: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/faq.html#samba
Basically you need to add to the global section of your etc/samba/smb.conf the following:
delete readonly = yes
or if you have an older version
force create mode = 0600
Also there is information that on the latest samba versions this is no longer an issue (it’s fixed).
