I'm migrating a VSS repository to SVN and inadvertently included all of the _vti_cnf, *.scc files in the first check-in. I'd like to remove these from SVN. (Not permanently, of course - just in the HEAD). The application in question is quite large, and finding and deleting these files on a folder-by-folder basis will take forever.
Suggestions? There must be some obvious way to do this, but the proximity of the weekend is interfering with my higher brain functions.
Jonas' answer should woirk fine. Maybe you are getting conflicts because you're deleting them on file system level, bypassing Subversion's control?
If you can use TortoiseSVN, the following works for me (=I get the necessary commands in the context menu):
Done!
