Whenever I try to open a Subversion project with Visual Studio .NET,
I get a warning message:
Refreshing the project failed. Unable to retrieve folder information from
the server.
Sometimes the project still opens; but, frequently I get a separate error
message
telling me that the web folder <http://localhost/WebApplication1>
http://localhost/WebApplication1 does not correspond
to the file c:/inetpub/wwwroot/WebApplication1 (or the share
\\mypc\wwwroot$\WebApplication1).
The posting from microsoft.public.vsnet.general which I saw on google groups
explains this
problem in a little bit more detail:

Can anyone shed any light on this problem? Why can we create a ".svn"
subdirectory within the command window but not in Windows explorer?
Is Visual Studio .NET broken? Is there any way to either
a) Get MS to recognize and fix this problem in a timely fashion or
b) Get Subversion to work-aroudn this and choose a different subdirectory
name?
Thanks,
Chuck
