Looks like a commit message is required, and you do not have your system configured to launch an editor for you to add one (without specifying on the command line).

Try this:

    svn delete http://www.yourrepository.com/svn/folder --message &quot;Deleting&quot;

To avoid similar messages in the future, add something like `export SVN_EDITOR=&quot;/usr/bin/vim&quot;` to your .bash_profile (or something similar for your Mac :))

You can use 2 step delete and commit for this as well. No need to use repository URL.

    svn delete filename1 filename2 forldername1 
    svn commit -m &quot;[Message] Unwanted files and folder.&quot;

I use powershell and the command `svn list -R` to search the repo recursively for folders I want to delete and then pipe the results into `findstr` or similar, like:

`svn list -r HEAD -R | findstr /R /I &quot;\/obj\$/ \/bin\/$&quot; | % { svn delete --force $_ }`

This uses regular expressions to search. Each /folder/ you want to find in the repo is separated by a blankspace, not the usual | (bar) character used in regular expresions.
  
Good idea to try it out first with just:

`svn list -r HEAD -R | findstr /R /I &quot;\/obj\$/ \/bin\/$&quot;`

Note to be absolutely sure what you are doing before commit.

Given a real (n), a maximum value this real can be (upper), and a minimum value this real can be (lower), how can we most efficiently clip n, such that it remains between lower and upper?

Of course, using a bunch of if statements can do this, but that&#39;s boring! What about more compact and elegant/fun solutions?

My own quick attempt (C/C++):

    float clip( float n, float lower, float upper )
    {
        n = ( n &gt; lower ) * n + !( n &gt; lower ) * lower;
        return ( n &lt; upper ) * n + !( n &lt; upper ) * upper;
    }
    

I&#39;m sure there are other, better ways to do this, that&#39;s why I&#39;m putting this out there..!

Most efficient/elegant way to clip a number?

I am a bit confused about the `nth-of-type` pseudo class, and how this is supposed to work - especially as compared to the `nth-child` class.

Maybe I have the wrong idea, but given this structure

    &lt;div class=&quot;row&quot;&gt;
    	&lt;div class=&quot;icon&quot;&gt;A&lt;/div&gt;
    	&lt;div class=&quot;icon&quot;&gt;B&lt;/div&gt;
    	&lt;div class=&quot;label&quot;&gt;1&lt;/div&gt;
    	&lt;div class=&quot;label&quot;&gt;2&lt;/div&gt;
    	&lt;div class=&quot;label&quot;&gt;3&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

..the third child element (first with class label) should (perhaps?) be selectable with

    .row .label:nth-of-type(1) {
    	/* some rules */
    }


However, at least in chrome here, it doesn&#39;t select it. It only appears to work if it is the first child in the row, which is the same as `nth-child` - therefore, what is the difference between this and `nth-of-type`?

nth-of-type vs nth-child

I sometimes make mistakes with svn and have folders stuck in my repository.  I want to remove these folders but I cannot figure out a way to do this.  Keep in mind I am very new with SVN.  I am running this command from apple terminal:

`sudo svn delete http://www.yourrepository.com/svn/folder`

I get the message :

    Anthony-Work-Mac-Pro:htdocs APN$ sudo svn delete http://www.yourrepository.com/svn/folder
    svn: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the --message (-m) or --file (-F) options

I have also tried `svn delete`, and `svn rm`.

What do I need to do?




Deleting a folder from svn repository

I sometimes make mistakes with svn and have folders stuck in my repository. I want to remove these folders but I cannot figure out a way to do this. Keep in mind I am very new with SVN. I am running this command from apple terminal:
<code>sudo svn delete http://www.yourrepository.com/svn/folder</code>
I get the message :
<pre><code class="hljs language-perl">Anthony-Work-Mac-Pro:htdocs APN$ sudo svn delete http://www.yourrepository.com/svn/folder
svn: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the --message (-m) or --file (-F) options

I have also tried <code>svn delete</code>, and <code>svn rm</code>.
What do I need to do?

I&#39;ve seen shell scripts that include a line such as:

    source someOtherFile

I know that causes the content of `someOtherFile` to execute, but what is the significance of `source`?


----------


Follow-up questions: Can ANY script be sourced, or only certain type of scripts? Are there any side-effects other than environment variables when a script is sourced (as opposed to normally executing it)? 

What occurs when a file is `source`-d in Unix/Linux context?

I need to use a &quot;clean&quot; shell (e.g. bash) under Linux/OSX terminal without any user configuration, but it reads config info from some files (e.g ~/.bashrc) every time it starts. I can modify the file every time I need a &quot;clean&quot; shell, and revert it back when I finished, but is there any easier ways to do this, for example a command?

What is the maximum limit to the number of processes possible in a linux system? How can we find it ?

Maximum number of processes in linux

I have a simple program:

    int main()
    {
        std::cout &lt;&lt; &quot; Hello World&quot;;
        fork();
    }

After the program executes my output is: `Hello World Hello World`. Why does this happen instead of a single `Hello world`? I&#39;m guessing that the child process is rerun behind the scenes and the output buffer is shared between the processes or something along those lines, but is that the case or is something else happening?

fork() and output

When I check list of processes and &#39;grep&#39; out those that are interesting for me, the `grep` itself is also included in the results. For example, to list terminals:

    $ ps aux  | grep terminal
    user  2064  0.0  0.6 181452 26460 ?        Sl   Feb13   5:41 gnome-terminal --working-directory=..
    user  2979  0.0  0.0   4192   796 pts/3    S+   11:07   0:00 grep --color=auto terminal

Normally I use `ps aux | grep something | grep -v grep` to get rid of the last entry... but it is not *elegant* :)

Do you have a more elegant hack to solve this issue (apart of wrapping all the command into a separate script, which is also not bad)




More elegant &quot;ps aux | grep -v grep&quot;

I wanted to submit a **diff** for review, for an Open Source Project.

I got the code using SVN (from terminal, Ubuntu). And I did minor edits in few files. Now there is only a single change I want to submit. Rest of the changes I made, were for debugging, and are no longer required.

I have generated diff using `svn di &gt; ~/os/firstdiff.diff`  

So my question, How to discard my local changes?

Is there a SVN way to do it? If not, I will have to go to each file and delete all my edits.
Then I would generate a new diff, and submit it.

How to discard local changes in an SVN checkout?

At times I want to revisit a change I committed to SVN a short while back, but don&#39;t recall the specific files involved or the revision number.  So I would like to see a list of recent commit messages, ideally including the files included in each commit.

I picture going to the root of my working copy and entering something like the following to see the messages and files associated with the most recent 5 commits:

    svn log -l5 -v *

Unfortunately, this command requires a single target, and won&#39;t accept &#39;*&#39;.  I know SVN has the information I want.  Is there a simple way to retrieve it?

How to get a list of all recent SVN commit messages?

In SVN is there a command I can use to delete all locally missing files in a directory?

Or failing that, some way of listing only those files that are missing (or, in the more general case, have status A, D, ?, etc.)

How do you fix the Subversion/Subclipse error &quot;Attempted to lock an already-locked dir&quot;?

Googling shows people routinely encounter this error, and the only solution I&#39;ve seen posted is to run Subclipse&#39;s Team-&gt;Cleanup command. Unfortunately, I get this error **when** I run the Team-&gt;Cleanup command. Are there any other options?

How to fix Subversion lock error

When trying to commit a change to a repository ( where I am the only user ) I get an error
    
    Path
    &#39;/trunk/TemplatesLibrary/constraints/templates/TP145210GB01_PersonWithOrganizationUniversal.cs&#39;
    is already locked by user &#39;admin&#39; in filesystem
    &#39;/guest/gam/subversion/cdaapi/db&#39;
    
I am the user &#39;admin&#39;.

I have tried the following, all without success

 - running a &quot;clean up&quot; from Tortoise SVN
 - checking out a new copy
 - using the &quot;repo browser&quot; to break locks, but no locks are shown ( as per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8470730/svn-file-locked-by-me-now-cannot-commit-it )
 
 I am completely stuck now as I have a repository now that I can not commit any updates to.
 
 Any ideas how I fix this

SVN &quot;Already Locked Error&quot;

In the Windows command prompt, I can type `notepad helloworld.cpp` which will then create a *.cpp* file with the name *helloworld* and open up Notepad for me.

Is there a similar function for Mac Terminal, preferably with Textmate or Textedit?

I&#39;m running Mac OS X Lion 10.7, with Xcode developers tool.

How do I invoke a text editor from the terminal?

I installed Sublime Text and wanted to know how to open `rb` files in it from the terminal. I saw https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7594091/what-is-the-command-to-make-sublime-text-my-core-editor and I see that I can make Sublime my core editor, but I want to be able to type

    sublime file.rb

How do I do this in Windows?

Sublime Text from Command Line

Here&#39;s what&#39;s happening to me: I start tmux sessions using `tmux -L name1`, `tmux -L name2`; then I detatch them using &lt;kbd&gt;ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;B&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;d&lt;/kbd&gt;. Then I try to get a list of the currently running sessions on my computer. However, when I run `tmux ls`, I get an error message: 

    failed to connect to server: Connection refused

Is this a bug? I&#39;m familiar with screen; I regard `screen -ls` as a very useful function since I might start a session and leave it running for weeks before the next time I attach to it. Because of this, the ability to list current running tmux sessions is quite important for me. Why does `tmux ls` return a &quot;connection refused&quot; error when I know tmux is running?

Why am I getting a &quot;failed to connect to server&quot; message from tmux when I try to list sessions?

If I&#39;m using terminal and typing in a line of text for a command, is there a hotkey or any way to clear/delete that line?

For example, if my current line/command is something really long like:

    &gt; git log --graph --all --blah..uh oh i want to cancel and clear this line &lt;cursor is here now&gt;

Is there a hotkey or command to go from the above to:

    &gt;

?

Usually I will press the &lt;kbd&gt;&amp;#8595;&lt;/kbd&gt; key, and if my current line is a brand new one on the history, that will clear it.  But if I&#39;m going through my command history via the &lt;kbd&gt;&amp;#8593;&lt;/kbd&gt; key and start editing or using those commands, &lt;kbd&gt;&amp;#8595;&lt;/kbd&gt; will only change the prompt to the next newest command in history, so it doesn&#39;t work here unless I press &lt;kbd&gt;&amp;#8595;&lt;/kbd&gt; multiple times.

How do I clear/delete the current line in terminal?

following the suggestion in this Archlinux wiki, in the [page about tmux](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tmux) I remapped the command key prefix to `C-a`, to mimic GNU screen and to have something easier on the keyboard than `C-b`. So my .tmux.conf became this:

    set -g default-terminal &quot;screen-256color&quot;
    unbind C-b
    set -g prefix C-a
    set-window-option -g mode-keys vi
    bind h select-pane -L
    bind j select-pane -D
    bind k select-pane -U
    bind l select-pane -R

However, while in screen it was possible to use `C-a a` to jump to the beginning of line, this does not work any more in tmux. As a sidenote, I&#39;m using iTerm2 without the tmux integration.

Does anybody know how to solve this?

Thanks!
