Question

I have code downloaded using TortoiseSVN GUI. I want to use svn commands in batch file. However, TortoiseSVN doesn't have svn commands except for TortoiseProc.exe /command:. So then I downloaded CollabNet commandline svn which provides svn commands. But now I am getting 

svn: '.' is not a working copy.

I also tried with TortoiseProc.exe /command: but I also get 

svn: '.' is not a working copy
Was it helpful?

Solution

Sounds like you are not in a SVN working directory when executing TortoiseProc.

Are you sure that you cd'd into a working copy before executing TortoiseProc?

Please note that you have to execute the command in folder of the working copy, not in a .svn directory.

OTHER TIPS

I understand you have downloaded the repository using TortoiseSVN GUI. Did you have any problem while you were doing this? Sometimes, when using svn commands, the operation doesn't end correctly leaving the metadata corrupt. You should try doing another checkout.
