Re: Update the working copy - again...

Special thanks to John Peacock for going over and over it until it sank in!

I was being told to update the working copy from Subversion. But it appears
that working copy means, both the copy on the development machine (where I
type in the code), and the copy on the "production" server.

I was being told to update the working copy. I had assumed that it meant
update the production copy. That is the copy that is doing the work, the
working copy!

The answer in my case was, on the development, coding, machine, to first
make a backup of the file. Then Update the file - that is, take a copy from
Subversion BACK to the development machine! Then correct what was in this
downloaded file, with the backup that I had made. Finally Commit the code
back into Subversion.

I trialled it using just one file, so that I could track what was happening,
but as soon as I had the one file sorted, I then did it with all files - and
I am back on-line.

Thanks again
