I'm attempting to create a branch in one of my subversion repositories and keep running into an error. No mater what is done, I keep getting the following:
File not found: transaction '3062-2e6', path '/Software/XXXXXX/branches/testbranch'
I've noticed that the first part of the '3063-3e6' in the above message is the last successful committed revision in the repository. My apache logs don't give much more information:
[Wed Nov 24 14:10:38 2010] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Could not MOVE/COPY /svn/p070361/!svn/bc/3049/Software/SXXXXXX/trunk. [404, #0]
[Wed Nov 24 14:10:38 2010] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Unable to make a filesystem copy. [404, #160013]
[Wed Nov 24 14:10:38 2010] [error] [client x.x.x.x] File not found: transaction '3059-2e2', path '/Software/XXXXXX/branches/testbranch' [404, #160013]
This is all happening on a server with an nginx frontend that proxies to Apache for the subversion bits. Other repositories are able to branch fine and I was able to create the branch using file:/// from the command line on the server this is occurring on. The permissions on this repository match every other repository and disk space is not an issue.

Probably your svn structure has no "Software/XXXXXX/branches" directory, it must exists in order to create "testbranch" here. You should make this directory ("branches") by hands and then do a branch.
