When doing a Subversion commit "--This line, and those below, will be ignored--"

Question

this is my first question on stackoverflow so please excuse if I do not submit properly.

I am attempting to commit 'folder2/folder3/file' via terminal (Mac OS X). Everything is fine up until the svn ci portion where I get the following.

--This line, and those below, will be ignored--

A    Folder1/folder2
A    Folder1/folder2/folder3
AM   Folder1/folder2/folder3/file

-uu-:---F1  svn-commit.4.tmp   All L1     (Fundamental)--------------------------------------------
Loading vc…done

Any help would be much appreciated.

It looks like to me you are in the commit message edit phase - that line and the line below are for your information, it is telling you what is being changed, etc. If you add a message above that line and save - it should commit the file.

If you are doing this command line, you can bypass this by adding the commit message to the command: svn ci -m "COMMIT MESSAGE"
