Subversion stuck due to “previous operation has not finished”?

Question

If I try to update my subversion repo, it says I must run cleanup. If I run cleanup, it says a file is missing. (I deleted a MASSIVE directory of files that failed to commit

Answer 1

I had the same issue, what worked for me:

1. Copy your folders and files to another place, say to a folder (I changed my files recently and the commitment failed and led to the addressed problem)
2. check out a new working copy
3. copy your changed files from folder to your working copy and override existing files. Commiting / Updating should work now
