SVN commit error, non-existing file not under version control

Question

Trying to SVN commit, but I get this error:

svn: E200009: 'C:\dev\train-data\version'' is not under version control

Problem is the file/directory version' doesn't exist. Neither does the file/directory version.

Even if I try to SVN commit in trunk, I get the same error:

svn: E200009: 'C:\dev\train-data\trunk\version'' is not under version control

I have tried deleting the .svn directory in C:\dev\train-data\, but that didn't fix the problem.

Client is Tortoise SVN command line on Windows.

Found the problem. Turns out that the ' in the SVN command was the cause of the problem.

So this one doesn't work: svn ci -m 'Commit message'

This one does work: svn ci -m "Commit message"
