How to tell which directory is the problem when tortoise svn complains...

Question

I am working under windows using the tortoise client and have made lots of changes, including many deletes, adds etc. When i try and commit i get the following error, but i cant tell which directory is the source of the problem?

Cannot non-recursively commit a directory deletion of a directory with child nodes To commit recursively and work around this error, make sure that all child items of a checked folder are also checked in the commit dialog. Otherwise, TortoiseSVN must do a non-recursive commit which does not allow directory deletion.

Any tips, ive looked at the action log and so on but that only gives the same error message without the actual directory name .

Answer 1

I would try using the command-line svn client, which might give more information.

In general, it's a good practice to use TortoiseSVN whenever you want to delete a folder in your working copy.

Answer 2

You probably have a sparse checkout. To change this:

RightClick -> Tortoise -> Update To Revision...

Set Update Depth to Fully Recursive, and then hit OK
