RE: [TSVN] Bug - Directory Already exists

Lübbe,

Doesn't that seem to be a bit too radical to the point of making working with SVN awkward? In our case the whole source tree is so big that it takes too long to check-out everything from SVN, it's common for people to retrieve parts of the tree, and a couple weeks down the road request the whole tree.

I don't see a reason to stop the checkout process in the following situations:
        -Empty Directory (possibly with other empty sub directories)
        (these get created by tortoise when previous checkout gets interrupted)
        -Identical files + dirs as the files in the SVN trunk

If the files are different or of a previous version, the user should be prompted on how to continue? A setting could be included to minimize such prompting as well.

But a simple little enchantment of ignoring such an error and continuing with synch would go far.

How about please? :-)

You're on cc

Here's the reason:

That's one possible solution to propagate the name change into the working
copy.
