You could also delete the directory directly in the repository using svn
delete url -m message. This way you would avoid the problem of
committing partial changes of your working copy.
.. which is just another workaround.
I think SVN is behaving correctly. When you do svn commit foo you're
telling Subversion to commit changes made in foo. There are no changes in
foo because it's been deleted. The changes, instead, are in its parent
directory, the one from where you issued your commands. That's why svn

I also have a feeling Subversion 1.7's new working copy arrangement will
fix or at least change this behavior.
So there's still a light at

svn commit foo and everything should work.
True - it's nothing totally new to me.

Then you must explain it to them. :) To move or delete items in a working
copy, you must use svn commands. You must not use OS commands. That's just
how it is.
This is going to be a long journey. *jokingly*
Thanks for the insights and incredibly fast answers! It's awesome that
you're working on

I'm not sure you understand the kinds problems the new working copy
format is settling.
For me it settles the major problem of multiple .svn folders in a checkout.
You must still use svn commands instead of OS
commands in 1.7. That won't change. I don't think it will ever change.
The reason is

Subversion is still an observer and whatever a user does, he must tell
Subversion what he did in cases where subversion can't
understand it by
itself (i.e. file/folder rename/move that preserve history across the
revisions). Every VCS I know works like this. Maybe one invents a VCS

The reason is that Subversion tracks operations explicitly, rather than
implicitly. In other words, Subversion
Hi,
having a fresh subversion repository doing this as preparation:
$ mkdir foo/
$ svn add foo
$ svn commit -m test
Adding foo
Revision X sent.
$ rmdir foo
$ svn st
! foo
$ svn delete foo
D foo
And finally this command fails:
$ svn commit foo -m fail
svn: entry foo has no URL

To get things done, one would have to backup foobar somewhere, revert
foobar, do the commit without PATH arguments and copy foobar over to the WC.

Let me know what
