Recently, I've discovered that the /var/www/svn/repositoryPath is missing on the Unix server. TSVN now displays an error when we try to commit a change. Image attached. However, commits work fine using the Unix svn client.

Looks like the developer who set this up ignored all the advice about
sharing repositories and working copies.

The particular error message looks as if you are sharing a working
copy, which has been relocated to use the file:// address in a Unix
format which only works on the local machine. You could try using
TSVN->relocate to change the URL to a form Windows can use (mapped
drive letter or UNC path).

Once you have committed any outstanding changes then stop using the
repo right away and set up a proper server and separate working copies
for your Windows and Unix clients.
