I got the same problem, in my case I was using svn tortoise with the application I mean. Using the cmd shell of windows in root mode I applied svn cleanup and then svn update.... Then you can comeback to the application mode aand it will work perfectly!

In my case, the error appeared when trying to commit from within an IDE. When I executed the commit of the same directories with TortoiseSVN in the explorer, the operation succeeded.

Answer 3

delete the svn from the main folder and replace it from another viable copy you have from elsewere.and then update. svn folder will be normally a hidden folder. So, please make sure, to unhide the folder before doing the above steps.

Answer 4

I initially got this problem trying to check in with TortoiseSVN. Initially, both, TortoiseSVN clean up and console svn cleanup both failed with similar messages as the original poster.

But my solution, (found out accidentally) was just to wait a few minutes. I am thinking TSVNCache was holding on to some of those files at the time of check in.
