Yesterday I was trying to do a merge in a svn repository using a command like:


rado@ubuntu-laptop:~/svn-wc/$svn merge svn://somehost.net:3690/some/very/long/path svn://somehost.net:3690/some/other/very/long/path


just to get the really strange error - "svn: Cannot replace a directory from within".

After reading through mailing lists messages, bug reports and anything else I could find about this error there was no enlightenment.

In the end the cause turned out to be a simple typo in one of my very/long/paths.

I shouldn't trust error messages too much!

For some time now I have been thinking about testing the new Drupal 6.0 code. For an even longer period of time I have been planning to actually put something on my little piece of the Internet.

You know - a webpage to publish some useful information for the rest of the world to enjoy, or not so useful rants to just make me feel better.

So, here it is!
