The fourth and final file, hello.c.r8, is the file as it exists in the repository revision that is being merged into the working directory. r7 tells you that the file is taken from revision 6 of the repository. The third version, hello.c.r7, is the file as it existed in your working directory the last time you checked it out, prior to any local changes. The second version of the file, hello.c.mine, is a copy of the file as it existed in your working directory right before the conflict. You can see an example of this diff view here. The first version shown is the version in your working copy, before the conflict occurred, and begins at a «««. The first file, named hello.c just like the original, contains the file with each conflicted area showing both possible versions of the file. Makefile hello.c hello.c.mine hello.c.r7 hello.c.r8 Second, it creates four versions of the conflicted file, for you to use when resolving the conflict. First, it marks the file as being in a conflicted state. When a conflict such as this one occurs, Subversion does two things. Notice that there is a C in front of the listing for hello.c instead of the normal U for files that have been updated.
#SUBVERSION CONFLICT UPDATE#
To resolve the conflict, you first need to update your working copy to the latest revision, using svn update. The reason, of course, is that Subversion won't allow you to commit changes to a file if those changes cause a conflict with previous changes, which can happen if you try to commit without first updating the working copy to the latest revision. Well, Subversion obviously didn't like that. Svn: Out of date: '/my_repos_trunk/hello.c' in transaction '9' $ svn commit -message "Decided on a more hip phrase" /home/bill/my_repos_trunk/hello.c Now, try to commit this change to hello.c. To the third, yet equally complimentary line,

Once there, edit the copy of the file hello.c that is stored there, without updating the file from the repository first. With your changes from the new working copy committed, it's time to go back to your original working copy. $ svn commit -message "Changed to a more conservative phrase" /home/bill/other_dev_trunk/hello.c Then, edit the file hello.c in your new working copy, and change the lineĪfter the change has been made, commit it to the repository. $ svn checkout file:///home/bill/my_repository/trunk/ /home/bill/other_dev_trunk To start, check out a new working copy, which will represent the work of a second developer. Its only recourse, in this case, is to let the user solve the conflict.īefore you can resolve a conflict, you have to have a conflict.

Because Subversion doesn't actually understand the files that it merges, it has no way of figuring out which of the two versions to use. Generally, this happens when two users have independently made a change to the same area of a file. Conflicts occur when Subversion is unable to merge two files together automatically. Let's finish this chapter by taking a look at conflicts and how you can resolve them when they occur. Subversion Version Control: Using the Subversion Version Control System in Development Projects
