I've screwed up a certain sub-folder in my svn working copy and now I am unable to commit the entire directory. I am however able to commit individual sub-directories (not too many), and thus have been able to save my work on the whole. If I try to commit the entire working directory, I get a "Unable to lock {PATH}" error. I've tried svn cleanup and a few other ways that haven't worked successfully.
The easiest way for me to continue now, I think, is simply to delete the entire working directory from my system, and re-export the repo version to the same path. It needs to be the same path to map into a certain url on my dev server.
I was wondering if deleting the entire path and then re-exporting it would cause any problems. It really shouldn't because all local svn info is stored in those .svn folders which would be deleted, but still, I'm new to this and I could be wrong.
Any guidance? thanks
