Error message : svn: Can’t open file ‘/Users/username/Projects/myproject/trunk/project/.svn/text-base/filetoupdate.h.svn-base’: No such file or directory Question:

Error message :

“svn: Can’t open file ‘/Users/username/Projects/myproject/trunk/project/.svn/text-base/filetoupdate.h.svn-base’: No such file or directory”

Question:

I have an issue I’ve replaced a file in a project (in Xcode) with a new file (For reference and if this makes a difference, the new file has the same name as the one I deleted previously).

Now when I try to commit my changes in Xcode I get the error message detailed above and am unable to commit the changes (i.e. adding the new file).

In the file system view (in Xcode on the left hand side of the screen) the file has an R next to it (indicating Replaced in the repository).

Does anyone know how to fix it so I can commit the files?

Thanks

    It looks like something got confused somewhere. To fix, I simply copied the offending files, saved them under a new name. Removed the originals from the project and the added the copied (renamed) version of the file to the project.

    It seems to be that SVN doesn’t like it if you add and remove a file with the same name. I tried cleaning the SVN through terminal, but it had no affect on this issue. But changing the name did work for me.
