Re: [Subclipse-users] Subclipse 1.8.3 issue with working copy of repository subfolder

I am guessing I do not understand what you are asking? Maybe someone
else does and can chime in.

import has a very specific meaning in SVN, and it would be a very rare
thing to do from Eclipse, so I am guessing you are using this term
loosely.

You should be able to checkout /branch/B or /trunk/A no problem. That
is pretty much how 100% of all Subclipse users use the tool.

So we are going to need more information. Subversion 1.7.x does have
a new working copy format, so existing working copies in the 1.6.x or
earlier format have to be upgraded before you can use them. This
would not imply to a new checkout since that would be creating a new
working copy.
