[Subclipse-users] Ghost directory: adding it gives error

Hi all,

I’m having trouble with directories which were first ignored, then
versioned, then deleted. I do not recall the sequence exactly, but the
situation now is:

> svn status
? MonaSearch/mona/linux-32
? MonaSearch/mona/linux-64

> svn up
At revision 375.

Those are directories, which themselves contain files to be added, and
files to be ignored. Now Subclipse shows me a + next to them, so it
thinks they have been added already. However, when I tried to add the
files in them, I got an error message which I can’t find anymore now.
However:

> svn add MonaSearch/mona/linux-*
svn: warning: 'MonaSearch/mona/linux-32' is already under version control
svn: warning: 'MonaSearch/mona/linux-64' is already under version control

How can this be??

So I try to commit via Subclipse:

commit -m "INSTALL files for all platforms;
READMEs for Mona." -N /home/hendrik/workspace/MonaSearch
/home/hendrik/workspace/MonaSearch/MonaSearch/INSTALL.mac
/home/hendrik/workspace/MonaSearch/MonaSearch/INSTALL.unx

No go. The directory mona32 has been deleted from the repository in
revision 350. I do remember having had some trouble at that time as
well, forcing me to resort to the command line.

 From the command line:

> svn ci -m "INSTALL files for all platforms;\
READMEs for Mona."

Nothing happens, svn status is still the same.

I’d be glad with some help to get out of this mess.

Cheers, H.
