I'm facing a frustrating problem with my SVN repository where it becomes corrupted each time I modify a certain file. When I run the cleanup command, I receive an error stating that the pristine text isn't present for a specific checksum related to 'hello.php'. I dug into the `wc.db` and confirmed that this error points to that file. I've noticed that if I delete and revert 'hello.php', everything goes back to normal. But as soon as I make any modifications to the file, the same error pops up again. Does anyone have insights on what could be causing this and how to fix it permanently?

Have you considered upgrading your repository tool? SVN is quite outdated and switching to a more modern system like Git could save you from issues like this. It might be a hassle to migrate, but long-term, it could be worth it for stability and features!
Seriously, you should definitely look into understanding why this error occurs instead of just switching tools. There might be a way to fix your current SVN setup.
This sounds frustrating! It could be an issue with how the file is encoded or stored in SVN. Have you tried checking the integrity of your repository? Running `svnadmin verify` could provide some clues.
Maybe it's a specific issue with that file's history or conflict management. If you haven’t tried, you could also back up your repo, purge the specific file, and then try re-adding it fresh. Sometimes that clears weird corruption issues!
While switching to Git might help, remember that SVN still has its use cases. Just make sure to troubleshoot your current setup before making any big changes!
