Deleted a file that was added to TortoiseSVN but wasn't commited.

Question

I'm using TortoiseSVN.

On my project I created a directory, put files on it, added everything to SVN source control but haven't commited it to the repository yet. It was looking like this:

/root_project_dir
-> .svn
-> dir1
  -> .svn
-> added_dir
  -> .svn
  -> subdir

But I mistakenly removed it with a regular Windows delete. Now, if I create the dir again, I can't add it to TortoiseSVN, it says:

"Directory '.../added_dir/.svn' containing working copy admin area is missing. Please execute the "Cleanup" command.

Ok, but when I run the "Cleanup" command I get this:

".../added_dir" is not a working copy directory.

I tried removing the directory, doing cleanup, creating it again, but couldn't be succesfull.

How can I add this dir to versioning again?

Answer 1

Try creating the directory without using the SVN Add command. Then commit it.

Answer 2

Do a svn revert on the directory you deleted.

Answer 3

Try to revert the addition: right-click on "root_project_dir" folder (that was the parent folder, right?) and select "Revert".

Answer 4

Did you try to restore it from your bin ?

Answer 5

Off top of my head

svn revert --force <dirname>
