I accidentally committed a folder named .svn to a Subversion repository. Now when I try to check out or update I get this error message:
svn: Failed to add directory
‘oops/conferences/.svn’: an
unversioned directory of the same name
already exists
I removed the directory in the next commit, but that didn’t help. Any ideas?
Have you tried to remove the folder directly in the SVN repository?
Most SVN commands can take either a local path into the working copy or an URL into the repository. You should be careful with the latter, since this performs the action directly, without any need to commit.
