Eclipse, SVN trouble

Question

A have copied a folder from one project, which is generated by system to another. Now I want to commit all stuff from the project, the folder was copied to. What I get is (that copied folder is in folder /webapp):

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Attempted to lock an already-locked dir svn: Working copy '/home/user/webshop/webshop-impl/src/main/webapp' locked

Ok, I tried to Team->Cleanup and got:

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Path is not a working copy directory
svn: '/home/user/webshop/webshop-impl/src/main/webapp/gwtmodules' is not a working copy directory

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Path is not a working copy directory
svn: '/home/user/webshop/webshop-impl/src/main/webapp/gwtmodules' is not a working copy directory

This eclipse SVN client is messing with me long time with this darn tigris exceptions =)

Please, help with advice :) What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

This had me baffled as well when I got this error. This happens if we have some pending sessions on committing our changes so we’ll need to do some clean up before we’ll have another try on a commit.

This is the fix:

In STS or eclipse, right click on the offending project, click Team and then select Refresh/Cleanup. SVN gets the offending .lock files and deletes them. You can also do this from the command line.

Answer 2

You should delete .svn folders which contains repo info after you copy a directory to another place.

You are probably seeing it because the copied directory has some svn file which points to some place that does not match to the new location.
