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 an error such as "Can't change perms of file '/Users/Code/UnitTest.cpp': No such file or directory". The subversion is confused about a file that is no longer there. I simply did something like "echo ABCD >> /Users/Code/UnitTest.cpp" to create a copy of the file, then cleanup. It worked.
