dealing with .svn containing working copy admin area problems
December 13th, 2008 by Lawrence David
 if you accidentally delete a directory’s contents that’s under svn-control, you’ll see the following errors when you try and update:
>> svn update
svn: Directory ‘test01/.svn’ containing working copy admin area is missing
the solution:
>> cd ..
>> rm -rf test01_parent_dir
>> svn update

Excellent, thank you.
