Hi, Gennady!
Don't panic!
as says the "HHGTTG"
This kind of behaviour sounds scary, and I do not know, what
caused it, but I think that similar effects can be caused
by erroneously moving the .svn folder along with its parent folder.
I have seen several times that one well-known IDE was causing such
a mess while doing moves and refactoring in it. Also, someone
can mess it up by moving and copying the folders in the Explorer
or in some file managers.
(You should use your right mouse button to drag the folders,
and use SVN Move command from the menu that appears
when you release the button)
I suggest you the following steps:
1. Launch Repository Browser dialog from Tortoise SVN menu
and check the repository, whether the files are on their
proper places.
2. In the Repository Browser dialog, select the root folder
of your repository and, using the context menu, open
the Log (in Russian translation: "journal") of it.
Check, what changes were committed to your repository.
3. In your working copy in Windows Explorer invoke the
Properties on the folders A, B and their parents.
In the Properties dialog there is Subversion page, where
the repository path of this folder can be seen.
Check, if the path displayed there is what you are expecting.
Also, on the root folder of your working copy, call Check
for modifications from Tortoise SVN menu, and see,
what is shown there.
If the paths are not what you are expecting, or there are
some files that are "nested", or in some other weird state,
you would better checkout a new working copy.
4. I hope you did not loose any modifications, but look in the
Recycle Bin. The files may be there.
Ather your working copy becomes in consistent state, you
may open the Log for its root folder, and from that dialog it is
possible to select a revision and revert the changes that were
made in it.
I hope it helps you.
