RE: Subversion/TortoiseSVN folder/directory delete problem

Thanks a lot. That did the trick. Another user suggested that the first
problem was that TortoiseSVN 1.0.2 is built against Subversion 1.0.1,
but the latest Windows installer on the site is Subversion 1.0.0 (not
knowing any better, that's the version of Subversion we installed).

Well, I can certainly help you with the last error. You need to supply
a message on a commit, even if it's an empty message. For example,
instead of just "svn commit", you need at least "svn commit -m "", but
I'd suggest something like "svn commit -m "commiting deletion of
erroneously created directory..."

        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
