I have now got another very simlar scenario, steps:
1. created new branch
2. created new checkout
3. modified and moved around some files
4. performed a commit at the root of the view
5. lots of changes commited but not all!!!
So I tried systematically burrowing down the directories and performing a
commit and it kept saying nothing to commit until the very deepest directory
- and then the commit failed because not all the parent folders had been
commited i.e. major bustness.
Here is the transcript from my DOS prompt:
C:\svn\EJB>svn commit
C:\svn\EJB>cd Base
C:\svn\EJB\Base>cd 3rDeployment
C:\svn\EJB\Base\3rDeployment>svn commit
C:\svn\EJB\Base\3rDeployment>cd src\com\csc\rrr\deployment
C:\svn\EJB\Base\3rDeployment\src\com\csc\rrr\deployment>svn commit
C:\svn\EJB\Base\3rDeployment\src\com\csc\rrr\deployment>cd ant
C:\svn\EJB\Base\3rDeployment\src\com\csc\rrr\deployment\ant>svn commit
