How to deal with subversion Commit Failed * has no URL errors.
I have been using ZigVersion to interact with a local SVN repository on OS X. Today I ran into a problem where I deleted some folders in Finder and then marked them off to be deleted from the repository in Zig. This approach had been working fine for files, but the missing folders prevented me from committing my changes. I recieved the following error:
It took me a little while to find the correct solution. This was probably because the answer is extremely simple. And of course one isn't always as sharp as they'd like when frustrated by a new problem. Anyhoo, I thought I'd share:
Navigate to your working directory and run svn from the command line like so:
svn delete workingcopy/missingfolder
svn commit -m 'Deleted folder'
Then bounce back to Zig and click the Update button and soon all will be right with the world once more.
