git svn "error": RA layer request failed: MERGE of [path]: 200 OK

[Chris Shenton]

I'm using git svn to talk to an SVN repo accessed by https.  When I try to dcommit a change I get something which appears to be an error, but if I understand the reponse code it's talking about, it seems OK:

> $ git svn dcommit
> Committing to https://koansys.com/svn/dha/buildout/branches/buildout_xdv ...

I thought this one had failed, and tried again, but it indicated doing so was a merge conflict:

Can anyone explain the first message? Is it a git problem, an svn problem, or something else?

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

Did somebody commit a conflicting change to the "buildout.cfg" file?
That looks like what happened.
