[svk-users] Problem with pushing: Filesystem has no item

[Brendon Higgins]

Hi list,

For the record, I managed to get past the problem by doing this:
svk mv //mirror/uni-stuff/trunk/Admin //mirror/uni-stuff/trunk/Misc

Then svk push worked. I have almost no idea what is actually going on. But 
it's working again now.

Peace,
Brendon
