Tortoise SVN reports files as "missing" or "deleted" although they are present on disk

When I open the commit dialog in tortoise svn, I can see that a lot of files are either missing or deleted, but I have them on disk.

What is the difference between missing and deleted?

How are they either missing or deleted if I have them?

(svn status does not report those files)

  1. missing: means the file is actually missing in your working copy. This happens if you delete the file without using the svn command. You can restore the missing file by updating the working copy or using the revert command.

  2. deleted: the file is deleted in svn, i.e. it is marked for deletion on the next commit. This status is shown even if the file itself is still in your working copy. If it's still in the working copy, it will be removed on the next commit. And the next commit will also remove the file from the repository.

  • missing = file exists in the repository but not in your working copy
  • deleted = file has been deleted in your working copy and is about to be deleted in the repository
