title: Need help fixing SVN: "not a working copy directory"
body: <p>I had a folder, <code>plugins/south</code> which was checked into my repository. Then I needed to upgrade it, so I deleted the folder and put a new one in its place. Now I can't commit my changes.</p>
  
  <p>In hindsight, I probably should have SVN deleted it, but it's too late for that now.</p>
  
  <pre><code>mark@ubuntu:~/myproject$ svn add plugins/south
  svn: Working copy 'plugins' locked
  svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)
  mark@ubuntu:~/myproject$ svn cleanup
  svn: 'plugins/south' is not a working copy directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I fix this?</p>
  
  <p>Thought maybe I could delete the version in the repo and then check a new one in...</p>
  
  <pre><code>mark@ubuntu:~/myproject$ svn delete --keep-local plugins/south
  svn: Working copy 'plugins' locked
  svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it won't let me do that either.</p>
