After accidentally removing file and adding it back I can't compare anymore

I'm using eclipse subversive. I accidentally remove a file from my local svn folder, refreshed the synchronize view, then added it back again, and refreshed the svn synchronize view.

Now when I right-click on the file and select 'open in compare editor' I get the following error message:

Get content for 'editor.cfm' failed.
svn: Cannot read from 'C:\workspace\abc\.svn\text-base\editor.cfm.svn-base': C:\workspace\abc\.svn\text-base\editor.cfm.svn-base'
(The system cannot find the file specified)

When I check in the folder I see that instead of file editor.cfm.svn-base there is the file editor.cfm.svn-revert.

How do I fix this problem? It seems that I have to somehow add the file back in.

Solution

  • I solved it the following way:

    • Made a backup copy of the file
    • Reverted the local file in svn
    • Copied the backup over the reverted file

    Now everything is back to normal.
