SVN Updating repopulates the deleted file, putting me back in my
initial state.
Interestingly, I *can* cherry-pick from the repository using TSVN ->
Check for modifications -> Check Repository, then "updating" only the
files I select. If I start from a fresh folder and do this for all
files but one, it leaves the system in the same state as the one I
want: a clean folder that doesn't include the deleted file. (Of
course, as soon as I SVN Update this folder, the file would come
back.) I'd like to know if there's an easier way, since I've already
updated the folder to contain all the files (including the one I don't
want).
Thanks,
Carrie
