Thanks Lasse, John.
I copied within the repos (from Kapps120 to Kapps121 - reflects version number change)
An attempt to check out to c:\devwork\projects\Kapps121 blows out with an 'access denied' when trying to copy a
.svn\tmp\entries to .svn\entries, and I see the .svn entries is marked RA.
Check out to a folder \Kapps122 is successful - so somewher in some hidden folder is a reference to kapps121 that won't go away.
This is confirmed by an attempt to svn rename my \kapps122 to \kapps121, which also blows out with the \tmp\entries error.
I suspect I should create a complete new working copy of ALL projects, or a new computer ;).

You can make a copy of a local working folder but you need to manually get
rid of all the .svn folders before you try to import/add it into SVN.
Otherwise you'll get loads of problems.
But, as already stated, if the local working folder doesn't have uncomitted
changes in it, just make a copy inside the SVN repository first, then
checkout the copy to a new working folder and you're good to go.
