Try to update through RapidSVN... For some reason this usually cleans up the
mess...

]If a file is deleted in the repository,
]and the local working copy is modified,
]then the following problems occur:
]
] * Attempts to commit from the local working copy lead
] to an inscrutable error message.
]
]If you then use either the Explorer Delete operation or the
]Tortoise Delete operation, then the following further problems occur:
] * Commit fails
] * Update fails
] * Cleanup does not correct this problem
]
]To reproduce:
] * create a new directory "a" and a file "a/foo"
] * Import this directory to SVN.
] * Checkout to a different working directory "b"
] * Tortoise->delete a/foo, commit in 'a'
] * Modify b/foo, notice that update/commit in b fail
] * Delete b/foo, note that update/commit in b fail
] * Cleanup in 'b', note that update/commit in b still fail.
]
](Alternatively, have someone checkin foo.obj to a project, and
]then try to delete it while the developers are innocently
]rebuilding. And then tell them that you deleted the file...
]Watch those developers spend the entire day downloading a new
]copy of a 300MB project over a slow connection. ;-)

]FYI:
] TortoiseSVN 1.0.3, Build 1430, UNICODE
] Subversion 1.0.6 (r10360)
