Hi Simon,
Have deleted the SVN folder full of files and re-created it then downloaded
several times and no luck.
It did fix the first error message, but not the Context Menu.
I don't know if this helps but when I asked to download again it didn't ask
me for my username and password (which it did on the initial download).
Thanks
Claire

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.
