In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.2.3790)
of 2011-03-16 on SDS
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.2.3790
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -IC:/gnu/gnuwin32/include --ldflags -LC:/gnu/gnuwin32/lib'
When I modify a file which is under svn, emacs _often_ (but not always!)
hangs calling svn to update its vc status and hangs even though svn
seems to work just fine.
I either have to kill svn using the windows task manager (in which case
I get this error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Running svn status -v foo.cpp...FAILED (status 1)")
signal(error ("Running svn status -v foo.cpp...FAILED (status 1)"))
error("Running %s...FAILED (%s)" "svn status -v foo.cpp" "status 1")
vc-do-command(t 0 "svn" "d:/dir/foo.cpp" "status" "-v")
apply(vc-do-command t 0 "svn" "d:/dir/foo.cpp" ("status" "-v"))
vc-svn-command(t 0 "d:/dir/foo.cpp" "status" "-v")
vc-svn-state("d:/dir/foo.cpp" local)
vc-svn-state-heuristic("d:/dir/foo.cpp")
apply(vc-svn-state-heuristic "d:/dir/foo.cpp")
vc-call-backend(SVN state-heuristic "d:/dir/foo.cpp")
vc-state-refresh("d:/dir/foo.cpp" SVN)
vc-after-save()
basic-save-buffer()
save-buffer(1)
call-interactively(save-buffer nil nil)
)
Or I have to hit C-g in which case I have to wait for a long time, and
then the mouse cursor jumps to a different emacs frame(!) and a message
appears "waiting for process to die...(type C-g again to kill it instantly)"
and then I hit C-g again (several times!) and wait some more and then
finally emacs starts responding and a windows "End Program" dialog box
appears asking me whether I indeed want to kill "svn.exe".
Then I need to do C-/ (undo) in the buffer into which Emacs moved my
cursor because a bunch of "g" characters were inserted there.
Basically, it is very frustrating: half my buffer saves are accompanies
by this game of killing svn.exe.
Note that this is native windows mingw emacs build + cygwin svn.exe.
I do have a native svn.exe which exhibits the exact same behavior, but,
additionally, cannot talk to cygwin ssh-agent so it requires me to enter
my password for every operation.

I don't use svn; what kind of text is that command supposed to output?
E.g., what does it show if you run it from the command prompt under
the same conditions?
Also, can you run this under Cygwin's strace and show the system call
where it (whatever "it" means) hangs?

when I try to attach strace or gdb to the svn process, they hang too.
when I attach with visual studio, nothing happens (I don't know how to
get the information you require: stack is not displayed &c).
when I do "break all", I get a message "the process appears to be
deadlocked (or is not running any user-mode code). all threads have been
stopped".
the call stack then is:

when I do "detach all", I get an error "cannot detach".
when I do "terminate all", emacs behaves as is svn terminated normally
and successfully.
please let me know if I could do anything else, but I would appreciate
_detailed_ instructions on any operation with visual studio.

Sounds like the problem might on the svn executable side (maybe
triggered by the way Emacs runs it).

FWIW, I see the same problem on Windows XP when using the cygwin SVN.
Using the native Windows SVN client from CollabNet everything works fine.
I tested with 23.2 and 24.0.50 (this weeks build) and they behave the
same, so it does not seem to be anything new.

Sam clearly said that the native build of svn has the same problem.
If that's not true, then the problem could be some issue with Emacs
invoking Cygwin programs. Enclosing svn.exe in a batch file could
then be TRT to fix the problem.

If it's a single line, it could be that Emacs doesn't see it due to
the fact that (I think) Windows pipes are buffered. Or maybe it's a
decoding issue. Can you trace through vc-do-command and see if Emacs
is invoking svn asynchronously or synchronously, and perhaps also
where it hangs?

That's not what I had in mind. I would create an svn shell script,
with the following contents:
#!/bin/sh
strace -o svn.trace /cygdrive/path/to/svn/svn.exe $*
then make it appear in PATH before svn.exe, and then repeat whatever
you do in Emacs that hangs. Hopefully, svn.trace will then show in
which syscall svn hangs, if it does.
the above is 100% untested, and also I have no idea about your setup
wrt shell and Cygwin, so you will probably need to tailor it. But I
hope you get the idea.

Sorry, I don't use VS except occasionally, and only if I absolutely
have to. I hope the above script will resolve the problem nicely.

I want you to reply to myself.
However, if you choose to reply to a list, please do not CC me.
However Mail-Copies-To seems to be ignored, so, I guess, I will remove it.

the message
Running svn status -v foo.cpp in foreground...
indicates synchronous execution.
it hangs in
(apply 'process-file command nil t nil squeezed)
and there in
(apply 'call-process)

emacs on windows cannot run shell scripts.
however, I am now using a batch file for that.
alas(?), I do not observe the bug when svn.exe is running under strace.
I will keep trying ...

So svn does not exit, is that right? That's weird, no? One reason
not to exit would be that it asked a question, but does svn do that?
