Wrong "Request ignored - there are currently unfinished builds for this revision"

Hi

I was playing around with my project and got into a deadlock.

I made a revision in my subversion repository like this:
file mkinstalldirs is a logical link
$ ln -s /source/to/mkinstalldirs mkinstalldirs
$ svn add mkinstalldirs
$ svn commit
// autogen.sh-Output neu
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// r184 | niklaus | 2006-01-07 14:46:04 +0100 (Sam, 07 Jan 2006) | 1 line
$ svn rm mkinstalldirs  
$ cp /source/to/mkinstalldirs mkinstalldirs
$ svn add mkinstalldirs
$ svn commit
// gives e.g. revision 168
// autogen.sh-Output as files
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// r185 | niklaus | 2006-01-07 16:31:36 +0100 (Sam, 07 Jan 2006) | 1 line

This is okay for subversion, but in my damagecontrol project I got the
following error (as shown in stderr in a build)
/mnt/data.ng/src/dc_data/projects/1/working_copy niklaus$ svn update
--revision 186
svn: Konnte die Datei 'mkinstalldirs' nicht hinzufgen: ein Objekt mit
demselben Namen existiert bereits
(in english) svn: could not add file 'mkinstalldirs': a object with the same
name exists already).

DEAD_LOCK!! Now if click on "Request a build" in the corresponding revision I
get the error "Request ignored - there are currently unfinished builds for
this revision".

How do I recover from a situation like this? How can we avoid getting into
this situation?

I think there a certainly a myriad of possible causes, that an update does not
complete successfully (broken connection, temporarily problems with disks,
etc).

I tried to reproduce the subversion error by repeatedly getting the revisions
into a clean working directory. Never got this error again.

Best regards

Website stale...

I've been trying to get DamageControl up and running with the meager  
documentation provided.
It does not work on my system, and all of the useful links are stale.

For instance:

<http://hieraki.lavalamp.ca/>

and most importantly the source code link:

<http://hieraki.lavalamp.ca/read/chapter/2#page2>

is also dead.

Any ideas?

TIA
