SVN Remove & Ignore Causing Tree Conflict
Sep 10, 2012

We has some files that were being tracked in SVN that we needed to be untracked and ignored, specifically a web.config file, which was being dynamically generated. We removed and ignored the file in a feature branch. We then merged the feature branch into trunk. Then ran svn update on our servers, which caused a tree conflict.

After some googling, the resolution was the following command on the server:

svn resolve --accept working -R .
