I’m just working as normal. Suddenly my commit gets this error:

Commit failed (details follow):
Can't open file
'C:\\...\\map\\.svn\text-base\\addressMatcher.php.svn-base':
The system cannot find the file specified.

I have done nothing fishy with my subversion folders, and cleanup doesn’t help.

How do I fix this / What do I do?

Edit: I just snooped in the SVN folder and noticed that the aforementioned file is called “addressmatcher.php3.svn-base” for some reason.
I smell failed renaming operations by Eclipse.
Renaming the file to the correct filename gives a checksum error, so I undid the operation.
Any advice on how I might fix this without having to perform a clean checkout and patching everything over?

    As you saw, this is a case issue (detailed in SO question “Can’t open .svn/text-base/file.svn-base ?“)

    One comment suggests:

    It happened to me in a subfolder within a much more massive folder.
    Instead of wiping out my entire project, I was able to “fix” it by deleting the subfolder from the commandline, and then doing a svn update, which restored the missing subfolder.
