svn errors out strangely

unknown command: 'svn-commit.tmp'

I have never seen this type of output from svn ci. svn 开发者_StackOverflow中文版ci is just an alias for svn commit. Anyway, if you know how to fix this, that would be amazing. Until then, I cannot commit any code lol. I looked around on Google for others having this error but I didn't find anything.

Running svn cleanup doesn't fix anything

The EDITOR or SVN_EDITOR env variables should reference a text editor, like /usr/bin/vi, /usr/bin/emacs, or /usr/bin/nano (fully qualified path to prevent another Mac svn related bug).

From your reply to Richard, you state your .bash_profile looks like this:

export SVN_EDITOR=svn

In this case, svn ci tries to launch the following:

$ svn svn-commit.tmp
Unknown command: 'svn-commit.tmp'
Type 'svn help' for usage.

and there is your "Unknown command" message.

Could it be that the EDITOR (or SVN_EDITOR, etc.) environment variable is set to svn-commit.tmp? (This environment variable specifies which editor you want to use to edit the commit message.)

Though on Linux, at least, you would get a more meaningful error message:

sh: svn-commit.tmp: not found
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: system('svn-commit.tmp svn-commit.tmp') returned 32512

Perhaps you are on Windows, this is the problem, and the error message is terse?

I did resolve it and in my opinion it might be helpful to other users at some point in the future.

I tried svn ci somefile -m "my comment" thereby only committing a single file and making my comment part of the commit message. This removed the strange behavior from SVN. I have been using SVN since 2007 and have never seen this before but I also never had a Mac before. Anyway, I do think this is a valid issue
