Version Control System preventing editing

-- MichaelN - 04 Sep 2015 Hi, Version Control System is not allowing me to make any edits to topics.

The topic is the "WebHome" that is found in Var/www/Foswiki-2.0.0/data/Main

What I had done is make a copy of the WebHome file and it is still called "webhome"... the original I changed to another name.

I then made edits using a text editor to the copy and saved it.

Now when I try to make changes to that topic Version Control is preventing me from making any changes. here is the error message i get:

Error saving topic During save of Main an error was found by the version control system.
