Subversion/TortoiseSVN folder/directory delete problem

Hello all,

 

Can anyone help me delete a folder I mistakenly imported into a
repository? I have tried the following things:

 

1) In Windows Explorer, navigated to the working copy and
right-clicked the folder to delete. Chose the TortoiseSVN context menu
and delete. Then clicked 'Commit' on the parent folder. This results in
a dialog box labeled "SVN Commit... Finished! Finished" with no actions
in the text area, and the delete is not committed (the parent folder in
my working copy still shows a 'Commit' option and the folder is not
deleted).

 

2) Gone to the command prompt, and issued 'svn delete foldername'.
This results in:

D bin\Debug\test.exe

D bin\Debug\test.pdb

D bin\Debug\referencedlib.dll

D bin\Debug

D bin

 

            Then, I issue 'svn commit', and get the following error:

 

svn: Commit failed (details follow):

svn: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider
setting the $S

VN_EDITOR environment variable or using the --message (-m) or --file
(-F) option

s

svn: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR is
set, and

no 'editor-cmd' run-time configuration option was found

 

I am using TortoiseSVN version 1.0.2 and the server is running
Subversion 1.0.0 for Win32. Thanks!

 

Arthur
