Re: [TSVN] commit deletes missing dir

Hmm - I thought this was clear: if a missing directory gets committed,
then it will be deleted in the repository too (because it already _was_
deleted in the working copy).

The status shouldn't be changed. After all, the status is "missing" and
not "deleted". That might confuse users even more.

I agree. But there's no way TSVN can prevent a user from deleting a
folder in explorer and force him to use the TSVN remove command instead.

But you didn't loose data. So it's not something very serious. And most
people will be ok with that behaviour.

I guess then you have excluded at least _one_ file/folder from the
commit then? In that case, TSVN must do a non-recursive commit on all
listed files/folders. And in such a case, the CL client won't give you
that error either.
