Re: svn: Failed to add directory 'src': object of the same name already exists

Subversion's checkout process will do this if it runs into an existing file
or folder. Consequently we have to "cleanup" any files/folders that the
new Project wizard creates prior to issuing the checkout. In one of the
recent releases we "enhanced" this process to not just blindly delete
everything, and instead walk though the local resources and do an "svn
info" on each one to see if it exists in the repository. Then, we only
delete the ones that do.

Usually when a file does not exist, something shows in the console. Do you
see any messages prior to this?

The workaround is very simple. When running the wizard just do not take
the option to have separate source and object folders. Then no src folder
will be created. You can just right-click on the project after the
checkout finishes and choose Properties and then define these same
settings.
