tortoisesvn - SVN: What to do if the empty folders in your working directory are deleted -
alright, working on small app recursively deletes empty directories. have under source control @ codeplex , use tortoisesvn access it.
so, 1 day, ran on directory have code. , ran fine. empty directories gone. when tried commit latest changes in of subversion hosted project, wouldn't it! complaining missing folders or something. apparently there hidden folders called .svn spread around in working directory (which kind of knew about) contains, among other things, crucial empty directories (which didn't know about). apparently, crucial cannot when gone. things stop working...
i tried svn update, clean up, update revision, revert, , on. nothing worked. got error messages of sort. ended having move folder, create new one, stuff codeplex again, , manually move on changes old folder. tedious , annoying.
so, going on there? why can't work without empty folders? , there way fix if happens again?
the .svn folders , contents (even if empty) tells subversion working copy working copy. deleting them makes directory directory. import repo other new project you'd have duplicate projects poor idea think.
better suffer pain of checking out fresh working copy, copying modified , new files , committing again.
