After having used switch, but switch from wrong directory (a subdirectory
of the working project directory) and now trying to switch back again to
the trunc, I also get the same error message :-(

I had a main project (stupid organisation, but that was what I was told to
do the first time):

c:/delp that is contained in file:///x:/svn-repos/delp6/trunc

I wanted to test Delphi 2005 on one of the delphi 5 dpr files contained in
subdirectory ActiReg32 and made a branch
file:///x:/svn-repos/delp6/branch/ActiCalc_2005 and then did a branch to
that directory. It then started to delete all versioned files from my
working directory on C-disk until it suddenly crashed with message that
folder \delp6\actireg32\Pos\Data was in use by another process (only
possible was itself since no other processes was running).

Now I have managed to move back most by using merge. But, something remains.

A big problem is now that:

Due to merge message in lower left side of page:
C:\Delp6 is now bound to file:///x:/svn-repos/delp6/branch/Actireg_2005

while
C:\Delp6\Actireg32 is bound to file:///x:/svn-repos/delp6/trunc and thus
only a sub

How and what do I switch, in order to have my project pointing back to
trunc, with all files in place? Trunc now contain a few files being also a
part of the file:///x:/svn-repos/delp6/branch/Actireg_2005/Actireg32 folder.

A Merge of the content of
file:///x:/svn-repos/delp6/branch/Actireg_2005/Actireg32 revision 240 (the
intact source) to the trunc also gives the message above. Why ??
