I've been using TortoiseSVN for a while and recently came back to recommitting all my changes and came across an error I've been so-far unable to solve. The only thing about my working folder C:\Development\myproject is that I've added a lot of folders/files since my last commit. What's the best course of action? Also I started an update, however that overwrote some my files, before I paniced and stop it before too much damage was done.
Try using the Clean Up command on the directory, then Update and finally Commit.
If that doesn't work, the error is moaning about deleting a directory with child items. If you know which the folder is, you can delete it by opening it in Repro Browser and delete it through that. After that, Update and Commit again and hopefully it should work. That always solves this error for me.

I did change one of my code in my php file. I committed those changes using SVN.
Then after discussion with my lead, i reverted those changes and made new changes in same file on local.
Then i took svn update.
I thought it will give previous changes in my local file, but it didn't.
I thought file get merged,but it didn't happened in same way.
How it exactly works let me know?
I am building a theme for NodeBB and the theme lives inside the node_modules directory. Pulling in from master last night I have a new .gitignore my file had ignore all node_modules except for my theme, well since this is a new .gitignore it didn't track my changes.
Then I made changes to my theme without it being tracked. I decided to merge with my repo, after some conflicts took a step back then did npm prune now this pruned my theme, I spent the last hour making changes that I am not sure I can get back.
My question is since the folder was not being tracked is it possible to undo the npm prune and recover the theme within node_modules?
Sadly, I think you won't be able to get your files back.
If you added the files or the directories to .gitignore, then git wasn't tracking them. So you cannot get them back with git, unless you used to have them in the repo, but even if you did, the latest changes that you lost would not be part of the repo. Sorry for the negative answer.
However, all is probably not lost right now. If you immediately unmounted the file system or remounted it read-only as soon as you realised you deleted your theme, you could always try a file recovery tool such as photorec.
In subversion I'm trying to commit a project but running into an issue.
The error I get is
Illegal repository URL ''
How come I can run update, but commit on the same tree shows that?
Try this, it worked for me:
Create a folder.
Right button over folder and create repo here.
When pop up appears select create folder structure and then open folder.
When repository browser appears you see tags branch etc, right button again and create folder but now with tool tortoise.
Update you file to folder.
After some hunting around it seems that a few other people have experienced some sort of local corruption at the top level their checked out project directory which is where I was committing from.
I followed the same procedure that was used to solve those cases which is to back up the sources. Check out the project again. Finally copy the changed files back over the freshly checked out copy. Check it builds correctly. And then commit that.
It seemed to solve it for me.
This has been plaguing me for a week.
SVN keeps telling me that a certain file "does not exist in repository".
Fine. Let's just delete it. Forget about it. Ignore it. Whatever. I don't really care about this file (especially if it continues to fail the nightly check-in).
The most bizarre part? A "restore" will actually RESTORE the file from the repository, so its there (corrupted, maybe?).
...and this has to be the icing on the cake. If I delete the file through Windows Explorer, SVN will RESTORE the file from the repository, and right after that state that it doesn't exist in the repository. WTF?
Does anyone have a clue how to get rid of this?
I've already tried clean-ups, reversions, deletions and anything else imaginable, but this one has me stumped.
Thanks for any tips you might have...
It seems most likely that you have corrupted your local working copy, e.g. by moving folders or some other manipulation that you did with windows explorer but should have done through the TortoiseSVN context menu. The information inside the .svn folders now no longer matches the state of the working copy, which is confusing Subversion.
To fix this, delete the parent folder ("Originals") in your working copy with windows explorer (NOT with TortoiseSVN). Then do a TortoiseSVN "update" at the root of your working copy. This should restore the folder in working order.
Another option is to discard your working copy entirely and do a fresh checkout.
Note that the next release of Subversion (1.7) will reduce the opportunities for corrupting your working copy by centralizing all metadata in a single .svn folder at the root.
I've had similar problems with corrupted working copies. Sometimes the working copies have a lot of pending changes but unable to checkin. To resolve this, I use the following approach (svn 1.7+):
Checkout a fresh working copy into a new directory (path2)
In the fresh working copy, if the offending file is there, delete it if needed.
Commit the fresh working copy
In the fresh working copy, delete everything except the .svn directory
Copy everything from the old working copy except the .svn directory into the fresh working copy.
Commit the fresh working copy again
Delete (or backup) the old working copy
Rename the fresh working to the old working copy (path2 to path)
I had faced a similar problem wherein i had a folder, for example "FolderA" which consistently shows in svn update even though I had deleted it.
It would not even show in the folder list but svn would still recognise it as if it exists.
I followed below steps:
1.Create same folder name for which svn was giving error in the same file location
2.Added it to svn checkout. Since it gave conflict errors, i resolved it using the svn option to resolve.
3.Deleted the folder and committed my svn.
Error was resolved
I cannot figure out why I get this error during check-in. I checked in successful only a few hours ago so not sure why now it's complaining
Error: Commit failed (details follow):
Error: Checksum mismatch for
Error: 'C:\sss\sss\trunk\xxxx\.svn\text-base\Header.ascx.svn-base'; expected:
Error: '3cee96f580409a1711a47541a07860dd', actual: 'a5fc0f8819b88bf32ab38d4c9a6b0654'
Error: Try a 'Cleanup'. If that doesn't work you need to do a fresh checkout.
I got latest and also performed a clean-up which said successful so not sure what else to do.
Something has gotten out of sync or has become corrupt, and because it's in your .svn BASE directory, unless you are confident tinkering with this, you're probably better off deleting the parent of the .svn directory and then perform an update. Of course, take a backup or see if an export works before doing this, so you don't lose any changes.
FWIW, I get this sometimes with our library references where Visual Studio seems to keep a lock on some files (even though it's not compiling) and won't let me update them. I believe this is related to the xml documentation files.
Note: Subversion 1.7+ implements a new working copy approach which centralises the meta data, and it now has a single .svn directory at the root of your working copy. Your best bet is a cleanup, failing that a fresh checkout into another directory and export or file copy the corrupted working copy except for the .svn directory, over to the fresh checkout, and commit any local changes.
Looks like one of your SVN files is corrupt. First, check-in everything that can safely be checked in, and make sure to backup everything. Then fix the offending file - usually this involves deleting it from your repository. This should be okay if you're checking in a new version anyway.
I received a similar error after our project repository was moved to a new server. Try reverting your file and reapplying your changes.
I had same problem after googling for some help found articles that suggested to override the checksum in the .svn\entries file. But in that file the checksum was actually as the the expected one in the error message.
To fix the problem, I navigated to .svn\text-base dir of problem file's directory and found out that there's a copy of the file i was trying to check in changes for. I opened that file in Notepad++ and replaced it's content with content of the file to be commited and i was able to commit afterwards.
But just in case, make a backup copy of the .svn\text-base file.
I think this happened because i did an svn update before commit because it complained that my version is outdated. Anyway, it's fixed for me and hope my solution helps someone else too.
With Tortoise SVN, I choose to delete the file in Repo Browser.
First back up the problem file. and use Repo Browser delete the problem file in it, then update local folder so the file in local folder is deleted. Then copy back the backup file and Add > Commit, then I can update successfully.
The disadvantage of this method is the history of this file will be removed.
