Can't commit after deleting files from repository
I'm trying to delete some files from my repository. After "svn delete
<some file>", I get
D <some file>
as expected, but when I try to commit, I get
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: '<some file> is not under version control
What am I doing wrong? I've tried this several times, including a
fresh checkout, where the file I'm trying to delete is still there.
Using "svn status" does not show that there appears to be a problem
with the status of the file I'm trying to delete, such as deleted but
not committed.
Thanks!

Can you post a transcript of your shell session, starting from a fresh
checkout, and including the `svn status` output both before and after
running 'svm delete'? What version of svn are you using? Have you
tried 'svn commit' without any other arguments?

your right.
that teaches me (again) to try out everything before posting and to
not rely on memory alone.

What?
% svn rm foo
D foo
% svn ci -mm foo
Deleting foo
Committed revision 4.

looks like you are trying to 'svn commit <some file>'
You need to commit the containing folder instead, because that's where
the deletion is recorded.
