Please, help me out,

I deleted my project file from the repository, Then I Tried to add the same file to the repository, but it gives me error that "File already under version control" I am not getting what's going wrong, I tried to change the file Name but no effect of that. This File is the Mac XCodeProject file.

Any help appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Praveen

  • Can you give us the detail of your removal? How you did? 'svn del' or just an 'rm' of the file? Commented Sep 24, 2009 at 7:04

You might have manually deleted the file/project from the repo, but the .svn folder contains info about the repository and it doesn't know if you have deleted that file/project unless you used

svn delete yourProjectName

use this command to delete that file, so the .svn folder gets updated and you are all set :)

I would recommend you to do the next steps to avoid any problem

svn update
svn delete thefile
svn commit

In this way you'll get the file back in case you manually deleted it. Then you'll delete it properly and commit the change

Have you confirmed that the file was deleted in the repository? You may have deleted it locally without committing the change. To verify:

svn log url/to/file // or
svn list url/to/directory
