SVN - Trying to delete a file from my repo that i imported in the wrong place

I accidently imported a file into the wrong place in my repo. Now i want to delete it from my repo.

I tried using:

svn delete https://mysubdomain.svn.beanstalkapp.com/repo/trunk/badfile

but when i do that, I get a screen that looks like this

--This line, and those below, will be ignored--

D    https://mysubdomain.svn.beanstalkapp.com/repo/trunk/badfile

----:---F1  svn-commit.8.tmp   All L1     (Fundamental)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loading vc...done

I'm completely lost once i hit this screen. Any help is appreciated.

Basically there's no error. You just need to input a log message, save and quit.

You can do two things:

  • Find a VIM tutorial (one here). VIM is the text editor launched by defaults by SVN when you need to enter a commit message.
  • Change your SVN_EDITOR environment variable to something you are more familiar with. Here is a small how-to though it sets it to VIM which you are likely not to want.
