Actually  I had this problem same as you   You can get the  Forbidden  error if your commit includes different directories   Like external items   And i solved in one step  Just commit external items in another case   Additionally  I advise you to read articles on External Items in Subversion and VisualSVN Server   VisualSVN Team s article about Daily Use Guide External Items  It explains the principles of External Items in SVN   https   tortoisesvn net docs release TortoiseSVN en tsvn-dug-externals html

My issue was my SVN permissions   I had the same problem  Access to   svn  my path   svn me  forbidden  when trying to commit files to a project I had been working on daily for several months   After trying the steps above  I could not resolve the issue   I also tried pulling the project down from scratch  logging in out of SVN  etc   Finally I contacted my company s IT department and there was a permissions issue that spontaneously emerged which changed my access from read write to read-only access   The IT department refreshed my permissions and this solved the problem

I had a similar issue in Mac where svn was picking mac login as user name and I was getting error as svn  E170013  Unable to connect to a repository at URL  https   repo 8443 svn proj trunk  svn  E175013  Access to   svn proj trunk  forbidden  I used the --username along with svn command to pass the correct username which helped me  Alternatively  you can delete    subversion auth file  after which svn will prompt you for username

I was unable to commit csharp-files    cs   In the end the problem was that at some point i installed mod mono  which made the   cs-files inaccessible  through its configuration  So it may well be an apache-configuration issue  if only some sort of files are not accessible   grep   cs   etc apache2 mods-enabled       mod mono auto conf AddType application x-asp-net  cs

If the problem lies client side  this could be one of the causes of the error   On clients TortoiseSVN saves client credentials under     Tortoise settings   saved data   authentication data    I got the same error trying to commit my files  but my credentials were changed  Clearing this cache here will give you a popup on next commit attempt for re-entering your correct credentials

The solution for me was to check the case sensitivity of the username  A lot of people are mentioning that the URL is case sensitive  but it seems the username is as well

You can get the  Forbidden  error if your user account lacks access permissions to a repository or repository path  it makes sense to check authorization settings for your user account  Make sure your system administrator hasn t provided you with No Access permission to the repository path   If you are sure that permissions are set correctly  then double-check the URL you use  URLs in Apache Subversion are case-sensitive   Additionally  I advise you to read articles on authorization in Subversion and VisualSVN Server    SVNBook about path-based authorization  VisualSVN Team s article about path-based authorization  It explains the principles of SVN authorization by comparing it with Windows Access Control

As a new user to these two software packages  I experienced the exact same problem   As was also discovered above  my solution was to use the same case letters as is in the Repository path   Here s a tip that I find helpful   In VisualSVN  you can right click on the path  then click  Copy URL to Clipboard  for pasting in Tortoise to be sure that the path is the identical case
