deleted file breaks uploading of new files

[Christian Wolf <Ch...@gmx.de>]

Hello,

I am a novice to svn but till now I did not run in trouble with it.

Now I do not know where the problem is:
I created (earlyer) a template called /template in the repos.
Today I copied /template to /Laminator using svn copy command. I added the 
directory Referenzen and some files under it: /Laminator/Referenzen/Thomas 
Pfeiffer/*.
I tryed to commit but I ran in an error. Something about a lock in 
the /Laminator directory. Because I thougt the problem was the added 
directory, I deleted it in the working copy using system tools and only 
copied the /template to /Laminator. The checkin did not work again.
After one additional try I made (just for fun) a svn update. Wow, all my 
commits were made first creating /Laminator and the 
directory /Lamintor/Referenzen, then it was replaced twice.
Good, let's insert /Referenzen/Thomas Pfeiffer/* again and all is done... But 
this was not able to me at all. I got allways the message:
svn: warning: 'Thomas Pfeiffer' is already under version control
I played a bit around with it, but I did not get it work. Even creating a 
completely new directory /Laminator/Ressourcen and inserting Thomas Pfeiffer 
in it resultet in this message !?!?

If you are interested you can look at the svn repos via https under 
svn.wolf-stuttgart.homelinux.net/svn/projekte/Laminator.

I do not know what is the problem and what I can do. Please help me.

Thank you in advance
Christian

Re: deleted file breaks uploading of new files [SOLVED]

Hello,

I found my mistake:

The problem was my copy. I copied the files to a save positition AFTER I have 
added them. So I copied also the .svn directories and this made svn get 
confused.

I deleted the .svn directories by hand and it worked all well

Thank you and sorry for bothering you with my mistake
Christian

I just tried what you described, and it seemed to work.

Several questions:

1). Are you using file:///, svn://, http://, or some other protocol
for accessing your Subversion repository?

2). When you did a copy, exactly how did you do it? Did you do a copy
from one directory in your working directory to another, or did you do
a copy directly in the repository (.i.e, did you do something like
this: svn cp dir1 dir2, or something like this: svn cp svn://dir1
svn://dir2).

3). Is it possible to see the entire list of commands and error
messages you received? Could you repeat what you did and do a
copy/paste into a reply.

4). One more question, is your repository using fsfs or bdb?
