SVN Check out fails at external check-out.

This only occurs if the external has changed. In this case, the external revision was updated to a more recent version. (For us, this happens maybe once a week so).

We run quite a number of jobs that access this same repository. Whenever the SVN External is changed, they all fail. They all fail only once and are fine the next time they run.

The jobs themselves run on multiple machines from a pool. An individual machine does not impact the above. So, if the job-A runs on machine-X after the external change, job-A will fail. If job-B then runs on machine-X, it will fail. Then if job-A runs on machine-Y, it’s fine. Jobs need to get through this fail, machines do not.

Note we have other jobs that use Subversion on the command line; they check out the same code but do not hit this problem.

Our jobs are configured using a shared workspace.

The externals all have the same access credentials. We have configured ‘Additional Credentials’ as well as the Subversion Credentials, but all are the same. Also, as this only happens after an external change, all work correctly.
