I used the following command to import a folder with files into Subversion without having to create a checked out copy of the new server side folder. All of this on a single line in Windows cmd:
svn import LocalFolderName https://oursvnservername/svn/pc/Name_of_project/tags/Name_of_project_6-3-3 -m "Importing Name_of_project 6.3.3 for use when building the installers" After it completed I discovered that a few files that were *not* part of the project to import were accidentally present in the local source folder... So now I wonder how I can delete these files *on the server* without first checking out the project and svn remove them? Is there a corresponding server side delete that does not require a local copy first? In the SvnBook I found this example, which I do not really understand: ---------------- Deleting a URL, however, is immediate, so you have to supply a log message: $ svn delete -m "Deleting file 'yourfile'" \ file:///var/svn/repos/test/yourfile Committed revision 15. ---------------- I don't understand how the syntax should be especially the use of the backslash. Why is that there? And my server target is *not* a file: rather it is an https URL as shown above in my import command. Please explain..... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
