I was working in a copy of my directory in another server. When I moved it to the one with SVN, where I am supposed to work, it overwrote the original directory. The files that were supposed to have .svn no longer had it. I can't add the files, as it says they are not under version control. I cannot commit anything, I keep getting a "(405 Method Not Allowed) in response to MKCOL ".

I tried to fix it by doing svn add --force, but that didn't work. I tried making a copy of the directory and then doing svn mv COPYNAME/ ORIGINALNAME/ and when I tried to commit I got the same error message.

How can I clear out the old svn data on this directory and replace it with the new data?

    That probably means it's trying to make requests to the special !svn urls in the wrong place. Check that svn info looks correct.

Do a new checkout. It's your only choice. Then, you can copy files changed from your old working directory to your new one.

    Thanks. The problem was twofold. I had to checkout, and the server was actually down for a while.
