obstructed folders under TortoiseSVN

If you run TortoiseSVN you may come across this issue when you find that some folders are obstructed - usually Debug/Release folders - i did came cross this today and when i tried to commit my changes i got message saying that i should perform a clean up command, so i did then i recived a message saying i can't as this isn't a working folder!!

and only found two ways to get my code commit my code:

- backup the files under your working folder then use new folder too check out your code and then replace it with the backed up files.

- other solution you can delete the obstrcted folder if it's not that important - in my case the debug folder will be generated eventually.

so if you have similar experiance and got a better solution please do post it.

You should set TortoiseSVN's preferences to exclude these directories and the various other junk files that end up in your working copy.

My regex for what to exclude is at http://www.damieng.com/blog/archive/2006/10/12/AnkhSVN-join.aspx

Well.. You shouldn't commit your 'obj' and 'bin' folders to your repository. These should be flagged to be ignored by tortoisesvn.

Well the thing is this situation can turn into a pretty fucked up one if you were only handling files that aren't in the depo yet, with the 'add' status attached. Then you're screwed, all you can do is delete, and write those again.
