How can I fix a bogus date error in TortoiseSVN

Question

I'm trying to update a folder and I get the following message in TortoiseSVN:

Error at entry 2 in entries file for PathToFile: Bogus Date

Is there a way I can fix this through TortoiseSVN?

Thanks

I ran into the same problem and cleanup didn't work either. Here's what I did to resolve it

• Checkout to new folder
• Export all items from corrupt folder
• Copy over clean checkout

Checkout To Clean Folder

Use TortoiseSVN's standard checkout commands to checkout to a different folder.

Export all items from corrupt folder

From Explorer, Right-click on the corrupt folder and drag to the desktop. Select "Export all items here". This basically copies the entire folder except for the .svn meta folders.

Copy over clean checkout

Copy the exported items over the newly checked out version. This restores any changes you might have made and puts you in a place to check them in.
