When trying to commit a while back, I got this strange error:

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MKCOL of '.../images': 405 Method Not Allowed

Searching around, I managed to find a couple of reasons this could occur — wrong charset or a connectivity problem (proxy discarding the MKCOL command). I’m not behind a proxy so I tried passing a charset parameter but that didn’t really help.

What finally helped was deleting the problematic “images” directory in the repository and re-commiting the directory. I use TortoiseSVN so it was as simple as using the Repo-Browser, right-clicking on the problematic directory and deleting it. The commit went through just fine after this.
