fix for "svn pristine text not present" error in a working copy
Raw
svn-pristine-find.sh
#!/bin/bash
# for an "svn pristine text not present" error like this:
# svn: E155010: Pristine text 'd6612ee6af5d9fb4459cbe7e2e8e18f7fb4201f8' not present
# you can delete the file and retrieve it with svn up
# (if you have local modifications, make up your own plan)
# -
# Run this script from the root of the working copy.
# It retrieves the file that's causing the error from wc.db
# usage example : ./svn-pristine-find.sh d6612ee6af5d9fb4459cbe7e2e8e18f7fb4201f8
SHA1="$1"
set -e
FILE=$(sqlite3 .svn/wc.db 'select local_relpath from nodes where checksum="$sha1$'$SHA1'"')
echo "File causing trouble is: $FILE";

I also had the same problem as GibStorm. What actually worked for me, is desribed here: https://www.tutorialfor.com/questions-102014.htm

So after you found the offending file you can update it to revision 0 by doing svn up -r0 File.txt and afterwards perform a normal svn up.
