I believe you're saying that have a directory that you imported into
Subversion (or that you converted your VSS repository to a SVN
repository using some script) and then you continued making changes
to the directory you had been using with VSS instead of checking out
a working copy from Subversion, and now you want to commit those
changes to your Subversion repository?
You must check out a working copy from your Subversion repository in
order to be able to make changes to it.
If you have at least Subversion 1.5, you can turn an existing
directory into a working copy by using "svn checkout --force". I
don't know what will happen if you do this with a directory that
already has modifications. I recommend making a copy of the directory
first, just in case.
Someone should update this FAQ entry:
