Re: Commit error on Added files Reference to non-existent node in filesystem 'C:/Subversion/db'

I'm just attempting to clarify what you're doing: Let's say that you
want to add a bunch of files to http://myurl/svn/project as project
"FOO", you are do the following steps:

STEP #1: You create a repository location for your project FOO

     C:\> svn mkdir http://myurl/svn/project/foo -m"Adding project
'FOO' to repository"

STEP #2: You create the trunk, branches, and tags folder for the project

    C:\> svn mkdir http://myusr/svn/project/foo/trunk
[...]/foo/branches [...]/foo/tags -m'Adding branches, and tags to FOO'

STEP #3 You check out project FOO to your local machine:

    C:\> svn co http://myusr/svn/project/foo/trunk foo

STEP #4 You add the files you want to project FOO

    C:\> chdir foo
    C:\FOO> xcopy C:\FOO-SOURCE\*.* . /s/e/q

STEP #5: Add the files copied into your Subversion work area to your
Subversion repository

    C:\FOO> svn add --force *

STEP #6: Commit the changes

    C:\FOO> svn commit -m"Added source files for project 'FOO'"

The problem you are having occurs in STEP #5.
