Yeah, that's definitely a nasty error message. It means your working
copy has been corrupted somehow, either by you accidentally deleting
that file yourself, or some application (virus scanner?) is doing it
behind your back.

No, you don't want to do that. The base file tells subversion what
your file loooked like before it was changed, so at best you are
giving a wrong view of what has changed. But I suspect it won't work
anyway as this sort of thing is generally checksummed in subversion.

It sounds as if your working copy has become too badly corrupted to
even be recognised as one, so as far as subversion is concerned this
is just a normal folder. Hence you see the checkout option but none of
the normal WC options.
Your best bet is to save your changed files, make a fresh checkout,
then overwrite the new files with your changed ones.
