[jira] [Commented] (SVN-4854) a problem of svnmucc mkdir

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4854?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17093477#comment-17093477 ] 

Daniel Shahaf commented on SVN-4854:
------------------------------------


I think that might be a bug in 1.8.15 that has been fixed.

svnmucc is a thin wrapper around the svn_delta_editor_t interface.  That
interface is very sensitive to order of operations, so I wouldn't expect
svnmucc to reorder its operation arguments.

The first operation, «mkdir /foo/bar», would fail with "/foo doesn't
exist" — if it ran, which it didn't get a chance to.  Before even
starting the edit drive, svnmucc reviewed the set of operations and
determined, without contacting the server, that the given sequence of
operations cannot possibly succeed _regardless of the current state of
the repository_: in the editor interface, «mkdir /foo» fails when /foo
exists, and the previous command, «mkdir /foo/bar», can only succeed if
/foo exists.  So you got an error about /foo existing.

However, as you say, the error message is inaccurate.  It's not that
/foo exists in the repository; it's that it is _implied_ to exist by an
earlier command.

I vote to reword the error message.

> Also the error of the first command is definitely wrong. The '/parent' directory does not exist.
