Lol
I'm trying to give as much details as possible so don't miss some important thing :)
But will try to be shorter next time :)

Yep, that will be good, then I'll know what it complained in fact since I don't see a reason it'll not pass the first time...

Sorry... :(
Forgot it and I'm too scared to repeat the procedure...

Well... some of the folders actually got in, so I just moved the rest, for example I was able to move Dir1 and Dir2, but it failed on Dir3, so the second time I moved Dir3 and the rest...?

I did :D
Yep, will be nice if something stops me from doing stupid things...

I surely got a couple of "locally modified" error messages in the whole mess but nothing stopped me (after the first try).

Confusing... :)

right... absolutely this is the case somehow after these moves it got as a part of the Subproject1

What about the Project/trunk/CORE/Icons folder with the versioned files in but not present in the repository? I can easily delete it from the rep and delete the '.svn' folder, then insert again, but do you want me to check something on it before I wipe it out? It is very strange situation...
