Question

If I do svn status in my working directory I get

?       skripte/data/somefile.csv
!       skripte/data/somefile.csv

svn ? status tells me

• ‘!’ item is missing (removed by non-svn command) or incomplete
• ‘?’ item is not under version control

How can a file be not under version control AND svn complains about it as missing?

Answer 1

The solution was:

1. moving file skripte/data/somefile.csv to another place
2. svn delete skripte/data/somefile.csv
3. svn commit -m=""
   • -m="" means only, that I don’t want to send a commit message here.

After those 3 steps svn status shows everything is correct.

Thanks to @ZoolWay, @Piskvor and @Raghuram for leading me towards the right direction and pointing out things, that helped me identify the error in this case.
