Problem:

I use the SlikSVN command line client and Windows 8.1 machine. When I type svn update in any folder, a message box appears that says, "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive F:" I cannot stop or explain why sliksvn pops up this message.

Screenshot:

Question: Do you know what might cause this?

More details:

  • After pressing Continue a couple times, it finally does the update.
  • It happens for svn update and checkout, but not for svn status and info.
  • I have tried clearing my SVN credentials.
  • I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling SlikSVN.
  • I do a custom install and only install the client and tools.
  • I have not noticed that it happens for any other program.
  • My computer is just a few weeks old.
  • My F: drive corresponds to an SD port on my computer. I have never used that SD port before.
  • My SlikSVN version is version 1.8.5-SlikSvn-1.8.5-X64 (SlikSvn/1.8.5) X64 compiled Nov 30 2013, 17:17:43 on x86_64-microsoft-windows6.2.9200
  • I reported this using the contact form on the SlikSVN website, but have not received a response yet.

Does it happen if you run svn update --ignore-externals? – Álvaro González
@ÁlvaroG.Vicario Yes, it happens if I run with the --ignore-externals switch. Thanks for the suggestion. – Wallace Kelly

I just checked the SlikSVN site again. On January 18, they uploaded a new version, 1.8.5-1. I did the following:

  • Uninstalled version 1.8.5
  • Deleted my AppData\Roaming\Subversion folder
  • Installed version 1.8.5-1

I no longer get the annoying popup message about drive F:.

As best I can tell, version 1.8.5-1 fixed the problem.
