If I try to update my subversion repo, it says I must run cleanup. If I run cleanup, it says a file is missing. (I deleted a MASSIVE directory of files that failed to commit this morning from my home pc, but then I commit the same set of files from work, and now my home repo is bust). So, cleanup says:
Cleanup failed to process blablabla Can’t set file blablabla read-write: The system cannot find the file specified.
If I update it says:
Command: Update Error: Previous operation has not finished;
run ‘cleanup’ if it was interrupted Error: Please execute the
‘Cleanup’ command. Completed!:
How do I get this unstuck?
I’ve been in similar situations. Have you tried running cleanup from the root of your workspace? I know sometimes a cleanup from a child directory (where the problem lies) doesn’t work, and cleanup from the root of the workspace does.
If that still fails, since you had deleted a child dir somewhere. Try deleting 1 level higher from the child dir as well (assuming that is not the root), and re-trying update and cleanup.
If cleanup attempts aren’t succeeding at any level then the answer is unfortunately checkout a new working copy.
