How can I "delete" a file which is already in the SVN repository without deleting it from my file system?
TortoiseSVN or command line instructions are welcome.
The following works, but I am hoping for something nicer:
Check out section 5.14.2. Moving files and folders (or check out "move" in the Index of the help) of the TortoiseSVN help. You do a move via right-dragging. It also mentions that you need to commit from the parent folder to make it "one" revision. This works for doing the change in a working copy.
(Note that the SVN items in the following image will only show up if the destination folder has already been added to the repository.)
You can also do the move via the Repo Browser (section 5.23. The Repository Browser of the help).
To move a file or set of files using Tortoise SVN, right-click-and-drag the target files to their destination and release the right mouse button. The popup menu will have a SVN move versioned files here option.
Note that the destination folder must have already been added to the repository for the SVN move versioned files here option to appear.
