title: How to fix "file not found" on git svn dcommit?
body: <p>I'm trying to do <code>git svn dcommit</code>, however, one directory continues to fail on me and therefore stops my commit and continue to get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Filesystem has no item: File not found: transaction '43999-6', path '/path/to/folder' at /usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 572</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I tried adding the folder back in but i continue to get that error.  can I remove a commit from the tree to bypass this?  Not sure what else to do here.</p>
  
  <p><strong>edit</strong><br>
  some of the following don't fully answer my question, but they seem to be in the right direction:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>issue about <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/471300/git-switch-branch-without-detaching-head">tracking</a> and not detaching the HEAD</li>
  <li>issue about <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4436427/git-svn-rebase-and-dcommit-problem">rebasing</a></li>

  </ul>
  
  <p>The last issue seems to be what I wanted, but with the size of my repo (last time, took me around a whole work day to checkout the entire thing), and the little amount of work I would have lost by just doing a <code>hard</code> reset (which ultimately seemed to do the trick), I went for the <code>hard</code> reset option.</p>
