I find Tortoise's Repo Browser the best tool to move folders and
reorganize. Here I'm assuming you want to move a folder to a new
location, keeping the same name of the original folder. Theres two
ways in the Repo Browser to do this. In both cases, you'll need to
first ensure the new_location/ folder exists. (eg Create folder >
specify file name "new_location" ).
1) drag and drop the existing folder to the new_location/
2) right click the original folder and "copy to.." the new folder,
then delete the original folder.
Finally, go back to your local version and do an update, and continue editing.
Now, that being said, it doesn't solve your situation. You've
already moved the folder locally and (possibly) made changes to the
contained files locally. Then you'll need to:
1) make a backup (zip) of your folder you moved in your local version
(scripts, in this case). Be sure when you make the zip, the .svn
folder DOES NOT get included. By default the windows zip doesnt
include hidden files but other apps like winzip and winrar do, so be
careful. (Right click on folder > Send To... > Compressed (zipped)
folder. Move the zip somewhere outside your project.
2) delete the moved folder.
3) go back to main folder and instead of trying to commit, do an
update (this effectively restores the moved folder to its original
location again, and cleans up the general state of your local copy).
4) go follow the instructions (above) to move the folder on the
remote server using in the Repo Browser to its new_location/.
5) execute another update on your local version to get the new_location/folder/
6) extract your backup into the new location, and commit the changed
files within.
If you didn't make any changes to the files then step 1 and 6 aren't necessary.
The reason (more or less) you get problems is because if you move a
folder (already under revision control) into another folder in your
project without doing it the SVN way, then the ".svn" folder gets
moved with it, and it is still trying to commit to the original
location on the repository (which you are also trying to delete at the
same time).
