Ok, that might explain the svn commit failure shown below, however I
still feel that the repository is not quite right.
Only yesterday did I move all of these files into /main. I have been
running svn for a while, and had gotten up to version 17 or 18. Now, if
I checkout a working copy of the repository at version 2, I should not
see /main, correct? So, for example:
~/code/gtkbonus_temp 26> svn checkout -r 2 \
file:///usr/subversion/gtkbonus .
A main
A main/test
A main/test/angles3d_test.cpp
A main/test/scrollbar_test.cpp
A main/test/trough_test.cpp
A main/test/gradient_test_old.cpp
A main/test/gradient_dialog_test.cpp
A main/test/gradient_test.cpp
A main/test/color_dialog_test.cpp
A main/test/palette_test.cpp
.
.
.
ls
main/
I know that I didn't have any directory called main in version 2,
however there it is.
Just to check I did svn update -r 2 and I still see main, with all
(supposedly) of my files therein. I expect to see all of my files right
there, at the root of the repository, because I didn't add the main
directory until revision 19.
Thanks again.
