That message actually comes directly from Subversion, so techincally it is
Subversion telling you to report the bug to them. For them to do
anything, they need a reproduction recipe. Also, in many cases, all this
error means is that there code encountered an unexpected condition and
they do not have a better error message to give you. So sometimes, the
only fix would be to learn more about what the error is so that they could
give a better error message.
Most of the time when you get the above error, it is because a versioned
folder in your working copy has been deleted, and then possibly recreated.
The problem, is that since that folder contained another folder named
".svn" that has all of the Subversion metadata, even when the folder was
recreated that .svn folder is now missing. So Subversion does not know
what to do anymore.
Your folder is named "src" so it seems a bit odd that this would be the
case. Usually it happens with "bin" folders that are versioned because
Eclipse will delete and recreate this folder as part of doing a full
project build.
Anyway, I know this doesn't give you a lot to go on, but maybe it will be
something.
