RE: a newbie question

Thanks for your reply.=)

Well... when you tag/branch you copy stuff in the repo. Since you copied the
folder into itself and you have the MainFolder checked out... when you
update... sure it is going to pull down the /tag and /branches folders now.
You probably shouldn't have done a tag/branch but just gone into the repo
browsers and added folders
<<-------------

Will making a trunk folder and moving all the files into it and deleting
tags and branches inside the trunk solve the problem?
