Accidentally I have created file – (just a minus) in a directory and commited

  • 0

Accidentally I have created file “-” (just a minus) in a directory and commited it.
I have to delete it because its causing error on other machines:
svn: Can’t convert string from ‘UTF-8’ to native encoding:
svn: ?\226?\128?\147

I can remove it from local directory using “rm -i *” or with python “os.remove(‘\xe2\x80\x93’)” but those methods do not work with “svn rm”.

How to delete such file from svn repository?

    You could try svn rm ./-

    It might not actually be a minus, tho’, but a similar-looking character.
