What does the Subversion status symbol "~" mean?

From

svn help status

'~' versioned item obstructed by some item of a different kind

I have only seen this where the file permissions had changed and svn had no execute access on it I beleive.

Hope this helps.


Here's what i did:

If the folder is Test

  1. mv Test Test1
  2. svn remove Test
  3. mv Test1 Test

The SVN Book says:

Item is versioned as one kind of object (file, directory, link), but has been replaced by different kind of object.

So perhaps it was originally a single file, but you changed it to a directory, or something along those lines?


svn delete --keep-local x
svn commit -m "del x"
svn add x
svn commit -m "blah"
