subversion 1.6.x losing changes on check-in
- by Bernard
I'm trying to figure out if this is a known issue with SVN 1.6.x
Developer A modifies a file and commits it.
Developer B modifies the same file. Tries to commit it and gets told local copy out of date so does an update and then a commit.
However the changes from Developer A are lost so the resulting file only contains the version that Developer B checked in.
We can see this in the logs. It seems to happen when the same file is modified but in different places.
Anyone else experienced this? We've had it happen 4 or 5 times in the past few weeks and we've lost a half day or so each time trying to figure out what's been lost, etc.
We're starting to lose confidence in SVN. Should we be thinking of moving to GIT or Mecurial? Would that sort out this problem?
