RE: [Subclipse-users] svn: Failed to add directory 'test': object of the same name

What does command line "svn status" command says on that directory? It may
have ".svn" directory inside, but may be "disconnected" from the parent
directory (i.e. parent directory .svn/entries) or it may be checked out with
"svn:externals" before, ".svn" may be corrupted, so directory is not
considered as versioned.
