TortoiseSVN - missing files in client

Question

I just deleted two files in the client and when tried to update those two files were missing, but they were in the server.

I tried "cleanup" and then "update" which didn't work. But when I checked out a new version to a different location the files were there.

In what situation this scenario happens? Initially I have "added" files to the server but it happened to be that the server already has those files.

P.S. I'm using TortoiseSVN 1.5.6.

Problem went away when I deleted the whole sub containing folder and did another "update" under the parent folder. what caused this?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Right click on the folder where you deleted the files, select revert, the files should appear there with the Missing status, select only those files and click Ok.

Answer 2

I see this a lot with the Subversive plugin in Eclipse and the command line SVN client. When following HEAD it usually doesn't happen, but when I switch to an earlier revision and back to head I usually lose a file that was added or removed in the mean time. "svn up folder/" does not restore them, "svn up folder/file" does ("Added"). I didn't see that with earlier subversion versions, to me this seems to be regression in 1.5 or 1.6.
