After a big refactor involving creating new projects and moving files around between them, I am having a big problem committing a folder (and its contents) which was moved.
The folder currently shows as modified (i.e. red overlay with exclamation mark). When I try to commit it, I am told I need to update the working copy first.
When I try to update it, I get ‘Target path ‘[location]’ does not exist’. Worryingly, this is the location in the structure that the folders existed BEFORE I moved them. It seems to be trying to update them from the wrong location.
So, I’m stuck in this ‘can’t commit, can’t update’ loop and I have no idea how to get out of it.
I think that what must have happened is that I have copied the folder including the .svn folder inside it into the new location. The subversion stuff in the .svn folder still thinks it needs to hook up with the old location when talking to the repository.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
David
In this case, I solved the problem by deleting the .svn folders in the folder. This meant they just appeared like new folders to Tortoise, and I was able to commit them.
