svn commit fails svn: '/svn/!svn/bc/

Question

After doing some refactoring, in Eclipse, Subversion starts to complain when commiting. I have no clue of how to fix it. I have managed to delete (and commited the deletion of GPFragmentRef.java.

>niclas@nl:~/$svn commit -m "trying again"
Adding         core/doc/GDocSection.java
Adding         core/doc/GDocSectionID.java
Adding         core/doc/GDocSectionRef.java
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: '/svn/!svn/bc/21791/DST/trunk/grammar-core/src/main/java/dts/grammar/core/policy/GPFragmentRef.java' path not found

What does svn/!svn/bc mean?

Answer 1

It looks like svn is trying to commit changes to GPFragmentRef.java once again. Perhaps you could run an svn cleanup to see if that helps. Another possibility would be to attempt to revert changes to that file, by running svn revert on that file alone.

Answer 2

I'm sure you've moved on but I just got the same error using a command line subversion client and it turned out to be a capitalisation issue on my path. Pretty obvious but I thought I'd throw it out there to save somebody else some time.
