Deleting a directory with a space in it.
Hi,
I've got a directory in subversion with a space in the name which I'd like
to delete. This is what I've tried:
svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad Training
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad Training"
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%20Training"
svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%20Training
svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad\ Training
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad\ Training"
and I keep getting:
svn: URL 'http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%2520Training' does not exist
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: 'svn-commit.9.tmp'
I've also tried checking out the parent directory, deleting the directory
and committing the changes, but I get a permission error:
error: you don't have enough permissions for this transaction:
you can't remove Grad Training/
and from the Apache logs:
[Tue Sep 20 16:28:00 2011] [error] [client 192.168.1.70] Could not MERGE
resource "/src/Repo/!svn/act/9f05c85e-f478-4f0e-8d08-d06b5c3d8781" into
"/src/Repo". [409, #0]
[Tue Sep 20 16:28:00 2011] [error] [client 192.168.1.70] Commit blocked by
pre-commit hook (exit code 1) with output:\nerror: you don't have enough
permissions for this transaction:\nyou can't remove Grad Training/\n [409,
#165001]
How do you delete directories with a space in subversion? The version of the
client I am running is:
# svn --version
svn, version 1.6.11 (r934486)

This is what I've tried:
svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad Training
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad Training"
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%20Training"
svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%20Training
svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad\ Training
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad\ Training"
and I keep getting:
svn: URL 'http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%2520Training' does not exist
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: 'svn-commit.9.tmp'
It seems like it's first escaping the space, making it %20 and then it's
escaping this again to make it %2520. ('%' = '%25' URL encoded).
Cheers

No, you can delete (on the command line) directly in the repository
by escaping each " " in the URL with "\ " or "%20".

So, just to confirm, ignoring the permissions issues, the only way to delete
a directory with a space in it in Subversion 1.6 is to check out the parent
folder, delete the directory in your working copy and commit the changes?

you should quote the complete error message because the "Commit
blocked by ..." part is essential here

the operation is clearly prohibited by a pre-commit hook script on the
server. You will need to talk to the person who put it there.
