Hi, (and merry christmas from germany)
the problem you describe is inherrited from the way subversion handles project
folders and files.
This behaviour is described in the subversion book, and there are a few good
reasons for this.
It would be a wrong move for subclipse to handle this differently fom
subversion.
In simple words:
If you start to work on a existing prject, check it out from the repository.
If you start working on a new project, do a checkin....
To write code to handle the undefined states files in a mixed new/checked-out
mixup you would produce when you work the way you describe will be verry
dificult, and error prone.
Just as an example, if you have created a file A and then fetch the project
afterwards, where file A allready existst, is it a collision?
If file A existst in the project, you should write your own, before knowing
the contents... can subversion safely merge changes ?
It just sounds like a bad idea for me.
happy hacking!
