AW: Re: Can I have the same folder in twice?

Hi,

it seems to me that you are confusing repository and working copy: when you delete and recreate a repository and then try to check out into you old working copy, svn will complain that the directory you are trying to check out into is already under version control. Indeed, it is - you checked it out from another repository. You can't overwrite a working copy in a checkout operation. What you need to do is move you working copy away and then do a fresh checkout.

regards

fg

        Yes, that is logical, but I even tried to delete everthing, all my repositories with rm -fr svnroot
        
        and then recreate them all, and upon my trying to create the project, i get a msg that the working copy with a different URL already exists at the checkout destination. But I deleted that destination! Is there a central svn database somewhere? I thought that the DB existed in each repository. Is there a way to see wll repositories on my system? And is there a way of deleting repositories?
        
        Thanks,
        Gabriel

                I'm puzzled. I have a repository full of files named Makefile, in
                many different directories. It works just fine, as of course it has
                to.
