When committing changes to an SVN repository from within XCode some of the files have the “!” symbol in the right column (see screen capture).
What does this symbol mean and what should I do w/ these files? It seems to be any time a file is deleted from the project.
It means that the file is known to the version control system, but missing or damaged locally. Here’s a list of SVN status codes:

Often the solution to this problem is to go into the folder containing these files, and remove the
.svnfolder from it. In particular, this should work if the problem started happening after you copied/imported folders/files from another project (already under version control) into your current project. The issue is that the.svnfolders are not portable cross project/repository. Trying to import a.svnfolder from somewhere else just causes the version control system to get confused.
