deleting a directory in subversion to replace a lib

Post by Luke »

I needed to replace the old adodb_lite library with an updated one in an svn repository of mine, so I deleted the old, added the new and committed.. it made my subversion working-copy impossible to commit now. I can NOT commit it. It keeps telling me "legacy" folder is obstructed. (that's the parent of adodb_lite. What is up here?

Did you delete the adodb lib folder from working copy or from repository?

The intended behaviour of SVN/CVS/*insert revision repository name here* is that you never need modify the repository; only workig copies and commit those copies as new revisions.

Should have simply committed the new files and alterations.

Hmm, deleting the .svn folder may fix this issue if your not having conflicts.
