Help With svn commit

[Troy Bull <TB...@ifmc.org>]

Greetings

I am using svn to keep a backup of a bunch of PDF files.  My basic workflow is as follows:

rsync pulls the pdf files and directories to my local machine into a working copy, then I commit my working copy and any changed pdf's are "sent" to the repository.  This allows me a great backup strategy I can get back anything I want at any time.  This worked great up until last night one of the directories was removed (it was supposed to be removed).  The problem is when I commit I get a complaint that 

svn: Directory /some/dir is missing

and the commit fails.  Is there some way I can commit and have it auto delete anything missing from the working copy?

Thanks
Troy

Treat the PDFs pulled via rsync like a "Vendor Branch" and use
svn_load_dirs.pl to work out all the changes for you. See
