Hello there, I started using subversion with my rails application, but I’m stuck with plugins, they are not added to my revision… \_\_\_\_$ svn add vendor/plugins/rspec svn: warning: ‘vendor/plugins/rspec’ is already under version control \_\_\_\_$ svn commit -m “added again plugin” Adding vendor/plugins Adding vendor/plugins/auto\_complete Adding vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/README Adding vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/Rakefile Adding vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/init.rb Adding vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/lib Adding vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/lib/auto\_complete.rb Adding vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/lib/auto\_complete\_macros\_helper.rb Adding vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/test Adding vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/test/auto\_complete\_test.rb Transmitting file data … Committed revision 27. \_\_\_\_$ svn status ? vendor/plugins/rspec The question is, why is rspec not added? I tried with svn add vendor/plugins/rspec --force but it keep shown as ? and not A on svn status 🙂 Any help I appreciate it 🙂 ---

Thanks, but why it’s not adding all the sub folder? I did this 🙂 svn add vendor/plugins/\* --force and also svn add vendor/plugins/. --force but I still get the ? character and not A beside all folders in rspec $ svn status ? vendor/plugins/attachment\_fu ? vendor/plugins/rspec\_on\_rails ? vendor/plugins/rspec/plugins ? vendor/plugins/rspec/rake\_tasks ? vendor/plugins/rspec/spec ? vendor/plugins/rspec/lib ? vendor/plugins/rspec/failing\_examples ? vendor/plugins/rspec/bin ? vendor/plugins/rspec/autotest ? vendor/plugins/rspec/examples A vendor/plugins/rspec A vendor/plugins/rspec/Rakefile A vendor/plugins/rspec/TODO A vendor/plugins/rspec/init.rb A vendor/plugins/rspec/UPGRADE A vendor/plugins/rspec/CHANGES A vendor/plugins/rspec/MIT-LICENSE A vendor/plugins/rspec/README A vendor/plugins/rspec/spec.opts ---

It doesn’t delete because it is directory, even though there is -rf, is there anyway around Greg D. .) $ find vendor/plugins -type d -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} ; find: vendor/plugins/.svn: No such file or directory find: vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/.svn: No such file or directory find: vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/lib/.svn: No such file or directory find: vendor/plugins/auto\_complete/test/.svn: No such file or directory find: vendor/plugins/rspec/.svn: No such file or directory find: vendor/plugins/rspec/autotest/.svn: No such file or directory find: vendor/plugins/rspec/bin/.svn: No such file or directory find: vendor/plugins/rspec/examples/.svn: No such file or directory find: vendor/plugins/rspec/examples/stories/.svn: No such file or directory ---
