Eclipse, SVN trouble

A have copied a folder from one project, which is generated by system to another. Now I want to commit all stuff from the project, the folder was copied to. What I get is (that copied folder is in folder /webapp):

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Attempted to lock an already-locked dir svn: Working copy '/home/user/webshop/webshop-impl/src/main/webapp' locked

Ok, I tried to Team->Cleanup and got:

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Path is not a working copy directory
svn: '/home/user/webshop/webshop-impl/src/main/webapp/gwtmodules' is not a working copy directory

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Path is not a working copy directory
svn: '/home/user/webshop/webshop-impl/src/main/webapp/gwtmodules' is not a working copy directory

This eclipse SVN client is messing with me long time with this darn tigris exceptions =)

Please, help with advice :) What am I doing wrong?

It is very likely that your folder is lack of svn info(my case). To fix it, you can copy svn info from other folders, and then modify the snv file(all-wcpropc,entries) to the correct one. I am not sure it is the recommended way, but it works for me!

This had me baffled as well when I got this error. This happens if we have some pending sessions on committing our changes so we’ll need to do some clean up before we’ll have another try on a commit.

This is the fix:

In STS or eclipse, right click on the offending project, click Team and then select Refresh/Cleanup. SVN gets the offending .lock files and deletes them. You can also do this from the command line.

I would do an svn export from the first project. This will give you a clean copy of the code without any of the associated svn metadata. You can then add the exported code into the second repository.

You should delete .svn folders which contains repo info after you copy a directory to another place.

You are probably seeing it because the copied directory has some svn file which points to some place that does not match to the new location.
