Hi,

I've got a directory in subversion with a space in the name which I'd like
to delete. This is what I've tried:

svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad Training
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad Training"
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%20Training";
svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%20Training
svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad\ Training
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad\ Training"

and I keep getting:

svn: URL 'http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%2520Training' does not exist
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn:    'svn-commit.9.tmp'

I've also tried checking out the parent directory, deleting the directory
and committing the changes, but I get a permission error:

error: you don't have enough permissions for this transaction:
you can't remove Grad Training/

and from the Apache logs:

[Tue Sep 20 16:28:00 2011] [error] [client 192.168.1.70] Could not MERGE
resource "/src/Repo/!svn/act/9f05c85e-f478-4f0e-8d08-d06b5c3d8781" into

permissions for this transaction:\nyou can't remove Grad Training/\n  [409,
#165001]

How do you delete directories with a space in subversion? The version of the
client I am running is:

# svn --version
svn, version 1.6.11 (r934486)
