Commit symlink into subversion

Question

I'm tring to commit a symlink into subversion, but I get this error when I try to add the actual symlink:

Can't replace 'path/to/symlink' with a node of a differing type; the deletion must be committed and the parent updated before adding 'path/to/symlink'

Answer 1

I read it as - you have to remove the file, commit, update, create symlink, add it, commit.

And my guess is that you're trying to remove the file, create symlink, commit in one go.
