Subversion commit failed Merge of file: 200 OK post-commit hook

Question

I modified our original repo for the dev checkout portion of our site. I tested the repo and all functions works properly. When I enabled the post-commit hook:

#!/bin/sh
/var/www/repos/XXXXX/autoupdate/autoupdate (which is a simple C compiled)

I keep getting this Subversion commit failed Merge of file: 200 OK error:

Commit failed (details follow):
MERGE of '/repos/XXXX_new/trunk': 200 OK (http://s15399220.onlinehome-server.com)

If I run the executable by hand it works fine and updates my dev checkout properly. I understand this error is misleading and that the commit works properly and that it is the hook that fails.

Can any one help with this?

Have a look at my answer to a similar question.

You might have better luck if you put debug messages into your post-commit hook so that you can see where exactly it is failing. Not sure why you're conducting a merge in the post-commit hook but that is a recipe for problems down the line.

For those who still experience this problem and tried everything :

The problem in my case was the type of checkout svn co http://.... instead of svn co file:///path_to_repo

You're doing a SVN checkout in your post-commit script? – David W. Sep 03 '13 at 18:04
