how to commit change?

Hi I've created a project, and used svn import.

Now I'd like to commit a change to files, how to do that?

I have empty ~/.workspace/project/.svn/entries .

---------edited:

If I try svn commit I get this:

$ svn commit src/dat/Win.java

svn: '/home/st/.workspace/dat/src/dat' is not a working copy

svn: Can't open file '/home/st/.workspace/dat/src/dat/.svn/entries': No such file or directory

//or just svn commit:

$ svn commit

svn: Can't read file '/home/st/.workspace/dat/.svn/entries': End of file found

From stackoverflow
  • svn commit
    
  • svn commit [PATHTOFILE]
    

    via svn commit --help

  • You can use 'svn diff' to see what changes you have outstanding, and commit them with 'svn commit' (to commit all changes), or 'svn commit path/to/file1 path/to/file2' to commit only the changes to those files.

  • You cannot commit changes without checking out a local copy of the repository first.

    1. Check out the repository into a local directory using:

      svn checkout file:///path/to/repo
      
    2. make changes.
    3. Run the following to submit your changes:

      svn commit
      
  • Before committing, you need to checkout a fresh copy of the just imported files. Delete (or rename) you're project directory, and do svn checkout [REPOSPATH]. Then you have a working copy. After you change a file in you're working copy, you can use svn commit.

    See Getting Data into your Repository in the SVN Book.

  • svn import commit an unversioned file to a repository (on a remote host presumably). After you've done this you need to checkout the repository to you own machine as working copy using

    svn checkout http://some.repository.net/trunk/ /my/local/path/to/workingcopy
    

    which will checkout trunk from the repo to your machine to folder /my/local/path/to/workingcopy. Make changed and then do.

    svn commit -m "A comment telling what you did the which file"
    

    or if you added some files to the working copy do:

    svn add /path/to/file /path/to/otherfile
    

    or

    svn add /path/to/dir --force
    

    which will add everything in the directory and all of it's subdirectories to the working copy, and finally

    svn commit -m "who did what why"
