Re: Using Subversion in Komodo

If I right click the folder I have a Refresh Status item in that menu which
I’ve clicked – there is a Source Control on Contents entry but its sub menu
only has Update, Diff, Commit Changes, Add and Checkout highlighted – no
Refresh Status. After I clicked Refresh Status I used the Update in that sub
menu but with no joy. Incidentally my folders in Komodo are not live ones –
could that be the problem?

I set up my local repository as root, using sudo, and it is showing only
‘system’ as having write permissions. As far as I recall I had to use root
to set it up but I may be wrong. Is that the problem there? This is a Mac
and I’m not all that familiar with what can and can’t be done with
permissions. Should I be able to add myself to 'system' using Terminal on
the Mac?

I'm a lifelong Windows user only fairly recently converted to the Mac and
I'm still getting used to its idiosyncrasies!

Oh dear, I'm top posting again!

  Have you tried right clicking the folder and refreshing the status,
  under the source control menu?
  That should get Komodo to realize the file is missing, and then an
  update will get the file for you.
  
  To fix the error with committing, I would not start Komodo with admin
  privileges.  It would be better to check which group has privileges to
  your repository and then add yourself to that group, or change the
  group that has write privileges to the repository to one that you are
  a member of.
  
  Hope this helps.
  
  cheers,
  Anton
