Re: how to replace ~400 files?

Thanks for sharing, Stefan!

 I didn't know about this TortoiseSVN feature! I was going to suggest
checking out a fresh working copy, deleting all the "source" files,
pasting in the new version file-tree into the "empty" top-level
directory, then SVN-Deleting all the missing files and SVN-Adding all
the unversioned files before committing, but you beat me with this much
simpler answer!

Thank you,

-Ryan

Right-drag the folder with the new files over the folder that's under
svn control. When you release the right mouse button, a context menu
appears and one of the entries shown there is named "SVN vendorbranch
here". Click on that.
TortoiseSVN will then copy over all the files, remove the files that are

not in the new version anymore and 'svn add' all the new files.
