Thanks for the replies. Yes, just trying to delete my
checked out version.
I now understand that Subversion has no 'memory' of
any 'checkout' other than what is stored localy in the
working copy in .svm folders. And since the folder I
had imported to the repository was mapped to the root
of the repository, when I used SVN>Delete I was
basically trying to tell it to remove the whole
depository from the depository. Just a little
paradigm shift away from other source control I've
used, but I'm beginning to see it's advantages.
Thanks.
