FailInvalidRevision during merge

We're experiencing the problem described <a href="http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic ... 9">here</a> (merge fails with "FailInvalidRevision" on the "Moves and Shares" wizard page). Has anyone found a solution to it?

I found the vault server logs, and it seems that the sql command is timing out.

Code: Select all

----5/20/2005 2:09:07 PM     maburke--devmachine.domain.com(10.10.10.10)--SSL Disabled	Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. 
----5/20/2005 2:09:07 PM     maburke--devmachine.domain.com(10.10.10.10)--SSL Disabled	GetRepositoryStructure returned: FailInvalidRevision

I increased the SqlCommandTimeout vault setting, and now it takes longer to fail.

We've seen this situation 2-3 times now. It's not actually related to merge branches directly.

I have a vague recollection that increasing the timeout was a workaround. How much did you increase it?

The real question remains why it is timing out to begin with. I'll keep digging for an answer to this, and to the question of why it only seems to happen to certain people.

It was 360. I increased it to 600.

I have a special build of the client which contains an attempted fix for this problem. This is not an official build. If you would like to give it a try, contact me by email.

Apparently, the problem went away over the weekend -- the other developers on the team said they were able to merge the problematic branch on Sunday. They said it ran quickly through the step that was timing out before, too.

I'll let you know if the problem recurs.
