SVN - Skipped paths

Question

I received this message when I ran a SVN UP:

Skipped \'trunk/scripts/accountability_survey_report.php\'
At revision 1585.
Summary of conflicts:
  Skipped pat         


        

Answer 1

Easiest solution:

sudo svn delete --force accountability_survey_report.php

Now just to be sure run:

sudo svn commit --force accountability_survey_report.php

SVN will moan:

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Aborting commit: 'trunk/scripts/accountability_survey_report.php' remains in conflict

Ignore the moaning, and run:

sudo svn update accountability_survey_report.php
A accountability_survey_report.php
Updated to revision ......

The above adds the latest copy of the file "accountability_survey_report.php" from the svn server to your local. Run svn update again and there will be no more svn complains about that file.

I will of-course backup the required copy of file first before deleting.
