That is not the problem I deleted the repository with "svn delete" and cant create it at the place again.

I did it with Windows Explorer; without "rm -f" ;-)
The files can be removed but the status
! x.y
remains in the SVN binding (the .svn/entries file I suppose).

Under that condition I have no revert capability at all. I am human. Errare humanum est. Therefor I want to prepere everything and
then commit it.
