Committing a Directory to Subversion

Kind of a newbie question, but I am having problems using SNVKit.

I am using SVNKit in an application to commit changes to files. I have it successfully adding the files and folders to the working copy, but I am having problems committing it to the respository.

The command I am trying to run is 'commit -m "Test Add" /svnroot/project1/' but I keep getting "svn: '/home/user' is not a working copy"

I have a structure similar to this:

  • /svnroot/
  • /svnroot/project1/
  • /svnroot/project1/grouping1/
  • /svnroot/project1/grouping1/myfilesarehere

If I try to commit the file, I get the following message: "'/svnroot/project1/grouping1' is not under version control and is not part of the commit, yet its child is part of the commit."

What might I be doing wrong?

EDIT: Fixed the directories.

move your -m "comment" to the end. I would just change directory into your project directory. Then you just type svn commit -m "comment" and svn does the rest.

It's not entirely clear because you've inconsistently replaced them, but it looks like you're getting repository paths/URLs confused with working copy paths. If you're adding or committing files, always use the working copy paths. Try playing around with the command-line svn before trying to use SVNKit.
