Recently I am facing problem of commit to SVN. The SVN server I am using is VisualSVN Server 2.5.9 and the client is TortoiseSVN 1.7.12.

At first, one user is having problem to commit files to SVN. But that user still can access to the repository and download the update. The second user on second PC is working properly. But today, the second user is having the same problem as the first user.

Commit failed

Why is this happen? How can the problem be solved? Thanks.

If the problem lies client side, this could be one of the causes of the error.

On clients TortoiseSVN saves client credentials under

Tortoise settings / saved data / authentication data.

I got the same error trying to commit my files, but my credentials were changed. Clearing this cache here will give you a popup on next commit attempt for re-entering your correct credentials.
