linux - Deleting a folder from svn repository

I sometimes make mistakes with svn and have folders stuck in my repository. I want to remove these folders but I cannot figure out a way to do this. Keep in mind I am very new with SVN. I am running this command from apple terminal:

sudo svn delete http://www.yourrepository.com/svn/folder

I get the message :

Anthony-Work-Mac-Pro:htdocs APN$ sudo svn delete http://www.yourrepository.com/svn/folder
svn: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the --message (-m) or --file (-F) options

I have also tried svn delete, and svn rm.

What do I need to do?

Looks like a commit message is required, and you do not have your system configured to launch an editor for you to add one (without specifying on the command line).

Try this:

svn delete http://www.yourrepository.com/svn/folder --message "Deleting"
