On some of my Eclipse workspaces to Galileo update failed in the SVN department (Subversive). Activating anything remotely related to Team/SVN features triggered an error. The workspace log contained:

!MESSAGE An error occurred while automatically activating bundle org.eclipse.team.svn.core (512).
!STACK 0
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exception in org.eclipse.team.svn.core.SVNTeamPlugin.start() of bundle org.eclipse.team.svn.core.

I tried to start Eclipse with the -clean option – didn’t help. Then I updated the Subversive SVN plugin and all connectors – didn’t help.

What eventually did help was to remove all org.eclipse.team.* folders in the workspace’s .metadata\.plugins folder.
