RE: svn and ant

Don't delete the directory. Just delete the files within the directory.
If you have subdirectories, then that might be a problem. I've run into
this before and this was my immediate work-around.

Another option might be to use Svn to remove the directory from the
repository and then add it back in with the Ant script. I've never tried
this, tho, and am not sure what the repercussions would be as far as
historical tracking is concerned. You might want to play around with
some ideas within a test repository.

Subject: svn and ant

running an ant script,
 I delete a directory
  .... trunk/documentation
the generate content in it using the ant script.

when I try to commit this, svn gets upset.
 I have to delete the directory, update, then generate files which
overwrite the directory contents.

I can then commit OK.

Is there anyway round this please?
svn add trunk/documentation fails too.

regards
