I have directory that keeps a number of 3rd party libraries. It is under SVN control and I need to make a major change in it which involves creating new sub-directories and replacing some files/sub-folders. If I do this manually (i.e. simple copy & paste), SVN gets bothered saying ‘blublu’ directory is not a working copy. If I want to add the directory to the version control with svn add command then it says the working copy is locked.
My question here is what is the best way to copy such massive amount of subfolders and files into a directory that is under SVN control without having these commit/add problems (e.g. not a working copy and lock). The following are some examples to these error messages that are issued when I attempt to commit/add the manually copied files/folders to so mentioned directory:
svn: Working copy ‘.’ locked
svn: ‘exception’ is not a working copy directory
svn: Can’t open file ‘exception/.svn/entries’: Permission denied
did you try
?
