I have a project that I am building with Netbeans 6.1 and I am using SVN. I deleted some files on the local machine then attempted to commit my changes to th SVN repository. The commit fails with the error message
Entry for 'C:\path\to\project\myfile' has no URL
Where myfile is the deleted file.
Is there some way to tell SVN that the file was deleted from the project and that it should be deleted from the repository?

To remove a file from a Subversion repository, change to the directory with its working copy and run the following command: svn delete file… Similarly, to remove a directory and all files that are in it, type: svn delete directory…
Using svn to delete a file from your working copy deletes your local copy of the file, but it merely schedules the file to be deleted from the repository. When you commit, the file is deleted in the repository.
Select any file and/or folders you want to commit, then TortoiseSVN → Commit.... The commit dialog will show you every changed file, including added, deleted and unversioned files. If you don't want a changed file to be committed, just uncheck that file.
The simple answer is "no", because Subversion doesn't know how to resolve the case when you add a commit, someone else updates their checkout, and then you remove the commit from history. There might or might not be a complex answer involving surgery on the Subversion storage.
If you are comitting a folder with the deleted file in it and supposing that you use the latest versions of Tortoise SVN (SVN GUI Client), it recognizes the particular file as missing and tries to delete from the SVN repo.

An svn update will bring the file back, fixing your local repo.
You should then be able to do an "svn delete" on the file, which tells your local repo that the file is to be deleted, and also deletes it from the file system.
You should then be able to commit the changes back to the repo.
