My computer exploded while in the middle of an svn (version 1.8.8) update command. Now svn does nothing just tells me the working copy is corrupt.
svn: E155016 The working copy database at [dir] is corrupt
I have no idea what to do, any suggestions?
I solved the issue with a cleanup + revert + update (in that order)
Cleanup
Try svn cleanup
in your working copy

New checkout
Try to make a new checkout to different place. If new checkout works properly, delete the corrupted one and replace it with new checkout.
When I removed the complete folder, repeated the checkout I got the same error....
So it seems consistent!
However,I was checking out into . (currentDir)
When I then checkout out into another directory it worked fine!?!?!
So much for transparent misbehaviours.....
