How can I restore svn control if the .svn folder has been damaged?

Question

I\'ve got a couple large checkouts where the .svn folder has become damaged so I\'m getting and error, \"Cleanup failed to process the following path..\" And I can no longer com

Answer 1

Make a backup of the folder that has the missing .svn

Then delete the folder

If it is the root of the checkout, you will have to re-checkout

If it is not the root, just run an update from a directory above.

Then move the backup folder on top of it. (Ideally do not move back the .svn folders)

Continue working and be sure to update/commit!
