SVN-error: Access to ‘x’ forbidden

svn

I'm using svn for the first time.
Three weeks ago it worked fine to commit files, now I get
Access to 'X' forbidden

Before I saw this I created a new folder and did a SVN Checkout. It worked fine.
So I have two folders with the very same project:
C:\Projects\ProjectX
and
C:\Projects\ProjectX_new

Still working with ProjectX (and not the new one) I did a "Revert to this revision".
And the above error showed up when I committed this Revert.

This error, could it be because of my new folder?

Should I read and follow this:

  1. Make sure you use correct URL. URLs in Apache Subversion are case-sensitive.
  2. Make sure your system administrator hasn't provided you with No Access permission to the repository path.
  3. Read SVNBook about path-based authorization.
  4. Read VisualSVN Team's article about path-based authorization. It explains the principles of SVN authorization by comparing it with Windows Access Control.
