error message "yet its child"

[FORGIVE IF DUPLICATE]

I got an error message saying something LIKE
"error commiting: [some-dir] is unversioned, yet its child is a member of
the repository".

What I did to get the message: I recursively added a large dir (1gb of
data files inside) and did a commit of all of it. This failed. Then I
again added stuff and commited, and got this error message.

I apologize, but TortoiseSVN cut most of the message off, so I'm not sure
of the exact wording. However, "yet its child" was definitely in there.

I see NO DOC of this error in the book, nor in the issue tracker (i
googled and issue-searched by the phrase "yet its child" and got nothing).

1. is there doc of this error message somewhere?
2. how do i make my commit succeed?
