Question: I am having the strangest problem ... every time i commit i get and error like this:

```
commit failed (details follow): MERGE of '/svn/project/trunk/web/directory/': 200 OK (http://mydomain.com)

```

that is the directory of the file i modified.

**Later Edit**
i have web dav SVN installed and i commit to a HTTP URL.
and there is a post commit hook doing a svn update on a directory on the same machine

Any ideas ?
thank you for your help.

Answer: 
This is a post-commit related error.

Debug your post-commit script, generally inside your repository directory:

.../projectname/svn/hooks/post-commit

In the past I had a similar error message due to a syntax error in a post-commit email script
