I have in the past used RCS for version control. With volunteers coming in, I thought I had to shift to a bigger system, and read about CVS and SVN. I decided in favor of SVN because it look better maintained. I had set up and started working with svn, and had version control going (local, not yet networked). It looked good. But old RCS habits, where one simply deletes files or directories, die hard. In SVN, one has to do these things through svn commands. After a week or so of not using svn (went on a trip), I deleted/created a few files/directories by hand, and realized my mistake only when I could't do svn co or svn ci anymore, and kept getting errors. I tried suggestions I found on the Internet, but I still couldn't access my svn repository to be able to restart from a known setup. I'm sure I will repeat the mistake again in the future. Since it is not easily undone under svn, I am going back to RCS, and am now reading tutorials for CVS. Since CVS is based on RCS, it should not be much of a problem. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem. Obet
When you accidentally manually delete a file/directory which is in svn, do an 'svn update'. This will restore the deleted files. Then delete them properly using 'svn delete'.
