How to fix Subversion «!» status

Question

The Subversion manual states:

\'!\'

Item is missing (e.g. you moved or deleted it without using svn). This also indicates that a directory is incomple

Answer 1

svn revert /path/to/file
svn rm /path/to/file      # if you want to delete it from svn itself

Golden rule is: once something is under svn-control, any moving, deleting, renaming, should be done with svn commands (svn mv, svn rm, etc.), not using normal filesystem/file-explorer functions.
