SVN commit Error “Commit can only commit to a single repository at a time.”

I'm using an eclipse with "Subclipse" installed to commit my changes to a repository that located at my DropBox folder.

I've created a repository using Tortoise.My actual project sits in the root of repository folder but not in a trunk or branch or tag folders.

I successfully created,checked out and committed several times , but lately I've begun to receive an error on commit :

org.apache.subversion.javahl.ClientException: svn: E200007: Commit failed (details follow): svn: E200007: Commit can only commit to a single repository at a time. Are all targets part of the same working copy? org.apache.subversion.javahl.ClientException: svn: E200007: Commit failed (details follow): svn: E200007: Commit can only commit to a single repository at a time. Are all targets part of the same working copy?

And nothing can be committed... What causing this problem and how can it be resolved ???

Did you recently add any third party source by checking it out or extracting a zip file inside your repo? If so, you may have extra .svn folders that belong to that project that confuse subversion. – Joachim Isaksson
I checked out the project , and inside it I've created a new package with a new class in it.Does it counts ? – Ivelius
Nope...I've downloaded the project from repository on another computer,and recreated the repository.Now I think that a simple "clean" operation could help.But what done is done. – Ivelius

This normally works:

right click on the project -> team -> cleanup / refresh

For command line svn, I fixed this by running a find ./ -name ".*" to find those hidden files and maintain only the root .svn structure.
