title: How to fix Subversion/XCode problem
body: <p>I have a Mac project in XCode that is in a subversion repository.</p>
  
  <p>Subversion is set up on a remote server using svn+ssh.</p>
  
  <p>I made several attempts to add a nested group of directories to my project, and had to delete and re-add the top-level directory a few times in getting it to work.</p>
  
  <p>In so doing, I forgot about the ".svn" files that subversion leaves at each level of your project hierarchy in order to keep track of the state of the check-out in the repository. </p>
  
  <p>I had used the XCode "add to repository" command to add the first version of my sub-directory to my working copy.</p>
  
  <p>Now, when I try to check in a round of changes, I get a very un-helpful error:</p>
  
  <p>"Error: 155005 (Working copy not locked; this is probably a bug, please report) Description: Commit failed (details follow): 
  Error: 155005 (Working copy not locked; this is probably a bug, please report) Description: Directory '/Development/FractalWorks/FractalWorks Plots/.svn' containing working copy admin area is missing"</p>
  
  <p>I need to figure out how to back out my add commands and get my working copy into a state so that I can check in my changes to the repository.</p>
  
  <p>I'm fairly comfortable working in terminal and issuing svn commands there. I also have a registered version of the "versions" app, although I am not currently using it to manage this project.</p>
  
  <p>Can somebody point me to some information on how to clean up a working copy, remove the vestiges of the "add to repository" commands that I did, so I can add the final subdirectory of files to my project and get it to commit? </p>
  
  <p>I find svn opaque and very hard to navigate, and the manual is not very informative. I have not seen any info on how to handle a case like this when the working copy gets out of sync with the repository. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
