I’m trying to do a commit on my project and am running into the following error. Pay close attention to the path:

Commit failed (details follow):
Cannot commit both
'C:\Development\Project\branches\nextver\project\bin\com\companyname\blah\Foo.java'
and
'C:\Development\Project\branches\nextver\project\src\com\companyname\blah\Foo.java'
as they refer to the same URL

How in the world did this happen? I never had my source files in the bin path in Eclipse! What can I do to fix it? Please tell me there’s something better than checking it out again and replacing all of the files. I have 191 Java files alone, not to mention resources and Eclipse files.

    The solution was to delete and ignore my bin dirs from my local copy. Again. Tortoise SVN seemed to forget that I had done that before and I didn’t notice that the bin dirs had crept in, leading to this problem. After resolving several other problems it threw in my path (source trees in conflict, etc.), I managed to get it to commit.

    I did first try deleting the .svn folder from the bin dirs, but all that did was cause it to complain that the bin dir was no longer under source control and halt.
