tortoisesvn - Tortoise SVN error "Symbolic links are not supported on this platform" -
when try update sub folder of project, tortoise svn gives me error
working copy "c:\project\extensions" locked. "c:\project\extensions" locked
i've tried cleanup \extensions
level , c:\project
level, both of give me-
cleanup failed process following paths: c:\projects symbolic links not supported on platform
what going on?
although subversion can version symbolic links, subversion on windows not support them (true symlink support didn't come ntfs until windows 7 released). 1 of other users of repository has apparently created, added & committed 1 or more symlinks.
in place of symlink, iirc subversion give text file note inside telling symlink points to.
you need ask other users remove symlinks, possibly replacing them file-level externals simulate behavior. it's not ideal, it's can if you'll have windows clients using repository
