Can't commit -- working copy missing or not locked

[William Trenker <wt...@gmail.com>]

I'm still getting used to using the svn mv/rm etc commands so I went
and removed a directory in my working copy using a plain linux rm -rf
command.  Now when I try to commit my most recent changes I get a
"working copy ... missing or not locked" message.

How to I get myself out of this?

Thanks for any help,
Bill

Don't do that. Subversion doesn't know about this and also doesn't know how to 
handle that. In general, deleting, adding (of course) and renaming/moving 
should only be done via the svn commands.

1. svn update
This will restore the removed directory.
2. svn delete <dirname>
This will tell Subversion that you want that directory deleted.
3. svn commit
This will transfer the change made in step 2 to the repository.

    svn checkout [directory from repository] [deleted directory]

Or:

    svn update

svn update will update everything else in your local directory, too, which 
you may not want.
