Fixing SVN Issues
When using tortoiseSVN you’re bound to eventually run into some of the issues below. (Note: most of them can be avoided by right clicking and dragging when moving files etc.)
After 8 months or so of using SVN i’ve finally learned how to resolve them instead of working around them. I intend to post fixes as i encounter them from now on.
Situation 1
Error Message:
Error Commit failed (details follow):
Error ‘xxxx’ is not under version control
SOLUTION: IF YOU ACTUALLY DON’T WANT THIS FILE OR FOLDER.
Steps:
1) Do an SVN Update.
2) Commit any changes from this directory except for the file(s) that give you the error (uncheck those).
3) On the parent folder do an SVN revert.
4) It will report that there were no changes, click okay anyway and hopefully your problem is gone.
Here are some screenshots of an example problem i had.
