Let's say I have a working copy at

C:\Project
|- File1.txt
+- File2.txt

Now I have a different subversion repository with a folder that has the structure

svn://...
|- File1.txt
+- File3.txt

When I export this folder to the C:\Project dir, File1.txt gets replaced and File3.txt gets added.

What I am trying to achieve is that only the 'missing' file File3.txt gets added, and the already existing File1.txt remains untouched. A "non-overwrite,only-add" function. TSVN for example only warns that the export target dir is non-empty, that's the only warning I get. It then goes to overwrite the files without asking. (Using TSVN 1.2.4, Build 4484)

To get this behavior with the current version I have to export and then revert the working copy.

Hope this clears things up a bit.
