Sounds like you might be trying to checkout your working copy over the copy
you imported?
You can't do this (or at least I haven't figured out how).
You have to clear the folder and then do a full svn checkout. This will
pull everything out of the repository and moving forward you can issue an
svn update which is the same as "Get Latest" in VSS.

Several folks have pointed this out, and it does seem to be the obvious
answer. But when I try it from Tortoise I get the error, "Failed to add
file <filename>: object of the same name already exists." Bottom line is
that the functionality exists, I just have something set up improperly.
Still feeling my way around and bumping into walls.
