The deletion is not a good idea when this removes all your latest changes. And there may be plenty.

Check out the repository a second time somewhere else, or only the folder containing the mystery, and then copy over the files needed and add them to the repository. Commit.

Then your repository has everything and svn up should work as explained above.

I just had this problem now. The reason that it was caused (for me) was that after moving a bunch of stuff around with svn mv, the original directory for the files had been removed and subversion could not find them. I solved the problem by copying the affected/afflicted files to a temporary directory, telling subversion to delete them, and then copying them back and telling subversion to re-add them. While these files are no longer linked to their older versions (in a different directory), subversion seems to be happy. The other possibility that I can see is to recreate the original files, commit them first, and then try moving them again.

SVN sucks! All these versioning software systems suck. Who had the bright idea of embedding hidden folders for tracking. *shudder* Just asking for nightmares to happen. I would really like to see a system that utilized a database to track file changes and could monitor edits, etc. Heck, do not most virus software programs do this?

SVN is a four letter word – the “F” is silent.

What about doing an SVN Replace of your file with the “latest from repository”?

I often have this message with Subclipse in Eclipse when moving folder and changing names or deleting files in the recently moved folder. I just have to follow the message, update my working copy from the repository (even if i know that nothing have changed) and commit then.
