My guess is that the directory he's working in isn't where you think it
is in the repository. Specifically, it looks like his directory:
C:\Tactica\art\environments\cathedral_construct\darkmaps\layouts\darkmap
s\
Is actually pointed to:
/trunk/art/environments/cathdral_construct/darkmaps/layouts/4_yellow/dar
kmaps/
in the repository. This could be the result of a switch command, for
instance. To find out for sure (since he's using Tortoise): Right-click
in the directory, go to Properties, and click on the Subversion tab. At
the top, it lists the URL for the directory. What is it?
