I'm getting a cryptic error message when an attempt is made to remove a
symbolic link named 'drivers':
svn: 'drivers' is in the way of the resource actually under version
control.
Searching the archive, I can't find a solution or explanation for this
condition. What does this message mean? What can I do to resolve the
condition? For this link and its target, no mods have been made to the
content since it was copied into place.
I've included snapshots of the directory with the link and the error
message resulting from the attempted delete.
Please let me know what else I can provide to investigate this further.
The symbolic link target directory exists and has the same revision
history as the link.
Cheers,
Mark
