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 This instead does work: $ svn commit -m "works" Delete foo Revision X sent. svn commit behaves inconsistently depending on whether a PATH argument is given or not. If it is a bug, it should get at least priority P2 because one is unable to commit partial changes to the WC as in this scenario: $ mkdir foo/ $ svn add foo A foo $ svn commit -m "test" Adding foo Revision X sent. $ rmdir foo $ svn st ! foo $ svn delete foo D foo $ touch bar $ touch foobar $ svn add bar foobar A bar A foobar $ svn commit foo bar 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. *eek* Let me know what you think about this! Greetings, D.
