RE: Checkout to same directory after import?

It's in the docs somewhere actually. Instead of importing, you should
create a top-level directory in your repository, then check it out on
top of your local dir, and add/commit everything.

From the root of your project, run: 'svn co [url you created to add your
files to] -N .'

Everything now shows up as unversioned files/dirs. You can then 'svn
add' (in Cygwin or *nix: svn st | grep ^? | cut -c 8- | xargs svn add)
and 'svn commit'

Cheers

Rob

Subject: Checkout to same directory after import?

Hi all-

I presume this has been hashed over a bajillion times, but I couldn't
find anything really concrete via Google and wanted to get it straight
from the people "in the know".

I have added a directory containing some files to Subversion ( 1.4) so
that they are now under source control. Without deleting and recreating
the folder, I would like to now "get" them insofar as I don't really
want to get them again, I just want to have Subversion create the .svn
directory as if I did. I have made absolutely no changes so the files
should be identical.

This isn't laziness on my part as some of the files are *huge* and it
would take awhile to both delete and then recreate, especially since
this is going over a wireless connection.

Thanks,

Tacho
