When I try to dcommit a change I get something which appears to be an error, but if I understand the reponse code it's talking about, it seems OK: > $ git svn dcommit > Committing to https://koansys.com/svn/dha/buildout/branches/buildout_xdv ... > M buildout.cfg > RA layer request failed: MERGE of '/Svn/dha/buildout/branches/buildout_xdv': 200 OK (https://koansys.com) at /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.6.6.1/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 564 I thought this one had failed, and tried again, but it indicated doing so was a merge conflict: > > $ git svn dcommit > Committing to https://koansys.com/svn/dha/buildout/branches/buildout_xdv ... > Merge conflict during commit: File or directory 'buildout.cfg' is out of date; try updating: resource out of date; try updating at /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.6.6.1/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 564 Can anyone explain the first message? Is it a git problem, an svn problem, or something else? Thanks. ``` ## Eric Wong, 2010-04-11 01:04 Subject: Re: git svn "error": RA layer request failed: MERGE of [path]: 200 OK Message-ID: <20100411010420.GC22778@dcvr.yhbt.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20100411010420.GC22778%40dcvr.yhbt.net In-Reply-To: ``` Chris Shenton wrote: > I'm using git svn to talk to an SVN repo accessed by https.

Is it a git problem, an svn problem, or something else? Hi Chris, Did somebody commit a conflicting change to the "buildout.cfg" file? That looks like what happened. -- Eric Wong ```
