Folder deletion weirdness [message #559210]

After deleting a folder in Eclipse I'm often unable to commit:

Some of selected resources were not committed.
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Item 'xxx' is out of date
svn: DELETE of 'xxx': 409 Conflict (https://localhost)

Even though no one else has touched that folder and no incoming changes or conflicts are shown, I end up having to revert the change and delete the folder a second time. After that I am usually able to commit.

Anyone else notice such behavior? I'm using the Subversive Team Provider 0.7.9 with SVNKit 1.3.2 on Helios (win64).

Hello Eric,

This happened because Subversive keeps version not only for files but for folders too. So, if the folder version is changed on the server side you need to update it first and only then commit deletions or additions on your side.

I have noticed the same behavior and it is a real PITA (Pain in the A$$)

As far as I am concerned the client should know this and handle it
appropriately.

This is potentially dangerous, perhaps add an option for this that is turned off by default.

I'm quite certain that no one else had touched that part of the repository. Even so, shouldn't the synchronize view show a conflict and give me the option to either override and commit or override and update (rather than show an error on commit)?

I remember being able to avoid this problem by using the JavaHL connector instead of SVNKit, but I can no longer verify that as I'm now running on a 64 bit platform.

Trying to create a simple test case that demonstrates this problem, but no luck so far...
