My SVN Repository(server down for few hours) went DOWN.

When the SVN Users update their working copies, '.svn' folder and files/folders that are synced to the repository went missing!

How to fix this issue? or Will this issue automatically resolved when the server is UP?

Thanks, Pandiarajan K

  • How did the .svn file got missing? They are hidden files I hope you have checked that. – Subir Kumar Sao Jun 06 '12 at 10:35
  • @subirkumarsao I was wrong '.svn' folder exists but other working copy contents are missing. Thanks for your reply. Regards, Pandiarajan – SPUser Jun 06 '12 at 11:29

As SVN was specifically designed to assure that one can work offline, there seem to be roughly three main possibilities:

  1. You are using some custom-made scripts that screwed you up (this is not a pure conjecture - I've seen some questions asked here that in the end resolved exactly to this).

  2. You are mistaken.

  3. Someone sabotaged your system on purpose or by mistake (this is a pure conjecture).

Update after seeing your last comment: it makes (3) more likely - someone inadvertently deleted the contents on HEAD. This is not a huge problem as you can always revert those changes.
