Scenario:
- I have a project open in Eclipse.
- I delete a file in this project using a different tool than Eclipse
(for example a
find
script or Windows Explorer)
Now, correctly, Eclipse will show the missing files as "Missing", and by default the "Commit" will have them unselected. This way if the deletion is accidental, recovery will be straightforward (just run a SVN update of the project).
It could be argued that if I do check the missing files and choose to Commit, then the deletion should be committed to Subversion. However, it does not happen that way. The commit is done, but the missing files, be they checked or unchecked, are ignored.
How to commit those deletions?
