The Delete action is
available in the contextual menu of the Working
Copy view. When you delete an item from the working copy, it is marked
as deleted (scheduled for deletion from repository upon the next commit) and
removed from the file system. Depending on the state of each item, you are prompted to confirm
the operation.
Note: For SVN 1.6 working copies, the delete action does not remove from the file system the
directories under version control, it only marks them as
deleted. This is because
they also contain the pristine copy of that directory content. In the
Working Copy view, this
behaviour is transparent as all resources have the deleted mark (
). The directories are removed from the file system
when you
commit them to the repository.
If a resource is deleted from the file system without Subversion's knowledge, the resource is
marked as
missing (
) in your working
copy. You can decide what you want to do with a
missing item:
- in case of a commit, any missing item is first deleted automatically and
then committed.
Note: Not any
missing item can be committed as
deleted, and removed from the repository. For example, you cannot commit
an item that no longer exists on the disk and that was scheduled for addition (
) previously, since this item does not exist in the
repository, but you can use the
Delete action
instead.
- in case you want to recover missing items, either update the items themselves or one of their
parent directories. This fetches their latest version from the repository.
You can also delete conflicting items (file content conflicts, property conflicts,
tree-conflicts) and Syncro SVN Client automatically marks them as resolved.
Note: It is
recommended that you resolve conflicts manually to avoid loosing any important remote
modifications.
Finally, you can change your mind and revert the
deleted items to their initial, pristine, state.
