files with @ in filename have special meaning in svn

[g4b0]

Files that contains @ in filename like, for example, silverstripe-framework/javascript/lang/[email protected], have special meanings in svn:

svn: E200009: 'cms/javascript/lang/src/[email protected]': a peg revision is not allowed here
svn: E200009: 'cms/lang/[email protected]': a peg revision is not allowed here
svn: E200009: 'framework/admin/javascript/lang/[email protected]': a peg revision is not allowed here
svn: E200009: 'framework/admin/javascript/lang/[email protected]': a peg revision is not allowed here
svn: E200009: 'framework/admin/javascript/lang/src/[email protected]': a peg revision is not allowed here
svn: E200009: 'framework/admin/javascript/lang/src/[email protected]': a peg revision is not allowed here

Problem arise also in cms module.

The problem is that these files can't be committed into svn.

Never had that problem when using Subversion myself.

According to googling, you should be able to work with these files as long as you double-quote the filename.

According to http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.pegrevs.html you can also append @ to the end of the path to make the prior symbol to be treated as a part of the filename.

Are you using svn cli? Which commands are you running which cause this error?

You're right, committing through the Netbeans cli works like a charm. Probably with svn cli it's sufficient to double-quote the filename.

Thanks and sorry for the non-issue :)
