Re: Obstructed update; object of the same name already exists

sorry, I don't know the "precise SVN-cmds"....

I can reproduce it! It's every time I try an update....
also when I first delete my "External"-dir and checked out it again. at the
next update it's all the same again.
I never did any local modifications. I only wanted to keep my local WC up to
date.

the output of svn when trying to update is:
F:\CG23\FakedReality>svn up
U Source/Core/Engine/Identifier.cpp
U Source/Core/Engine/Identifier.h
U Source/Core/Engine/Actor.cpp
U Source/Core/Engine/Actor.h
svn: Obstructed update
svn: failed to add directory 'External': object of the same name already
exists

hint: after "U Source/Core/Engine/Actor.h" it takes about 20 seconds til
the "Obstructed update"-message apairs....

Yes, this is very puzzling.....
