Re: How to "un-checkout" from svn

Sorry if my original email was not clear enough. I actually was just
looking for a simple, clean way to get rid of something from my working
copy (*only*) of something once I didn't need it anymore. I know it
doesn't cause any harm to leave it there; I just like to clean up after
myself.

But it sounds like svn doesn't support what I want to do. Thanks anyway
for all your help.
