What the heck does “obstructed” mean when you try to check into Subversion? I see two folders in red with text status of “obstructed.” I don’t see what this means anywhere in the docs.

When I try the cleanup command, I get “folder name is not a working directory.” This is a folder I just created in VS, and when I try to add it to Subversion it gives me that error. All other folders are fine.

    it occurs when you have deleted or moved the .svn subdirectories (without going through SVN commands), so SVN has a corrupted view of the working copy.

    Try a cleanup first, and if that doesn’t solve it, revert (or update) the directory to restore the subdirectory .svn folders.
