I can't think of a reason for that to occur, unless you really have a
directory "trunk" inside the directory "trunk" in your repository.
(Can you check whether that is the case?)

Allison: I checked and didn't have a trunk inside trunk.

events@webfarm-dev-01:jeff[583]$ svn ls
svn+ssh://events@svn.berkeley.edu/svn/events/trunk
FreeEnergyModules/
build/
htdocs/
test_show.xml.php

Presumably the last command was actually "ls"?

Allison: The last command was "ls checkouts/jeff" and the response was
"trunk" (I was just trying to show that a trunk directory was all that was
in that directory).

I don't know what all that means, but the working copy sure looks
confused. Unless you've got a lot of uncommitted modifications in
that working copy, I'd toss it and check out a new one.

Allison: Yes, you're right the working copy was confused, so I deleted all
the files and started over. However, I just want to make sure I don't have
to do that with other working copies that have more changes (this was my
test case).

I also ended up running into another problem when I did svn update:

events@webfarm-dev-01:jeff[578]$ svn status
! .
! build
! FreeEnergyModules
! htdocs
! S test_show.xml.php
events@webfarm-dev-01:jeff[579]$ svn update
Restored 'test_show.xml.php'
D test_show.xml.php
A build
A build/repair.sql
...
A htdocs/ucb.xsl
Updated to revision 247.
events@webfarm-dev-01:jeff[580]$ ls
FreeEnergyModules build htdocs
events@webfarm-dev-01:jeff[581]$ svn ls
svn+ssh://events@svn.berkeley.edu/svn/events/trunk
FreeEnergyModules/
build/
htdocs/
test_show.xml.php

All the other files populated in the "jeff" directory just fine, but for
some reason test_show.xml.php was eliminated. I see in the subversion book
the "S" means that that "file or dir has been switched to a branch", but I
don't even know how to "switch a file". The only switching I've done was to
switch where in subversion a working copy was pointing...what does this
mean?
