Well I have a few updates that don't make much sense to me...
I tried to use svn merge -r xx-1:xx but unsurprisingly, that gave me
the same results as the -c -xx version of the command.
I then decided the only way ut, was going to be delete the working
copy and then checkout a new one - specifying the revision prior to
the accidental delete;
svn co http://... destinationPathName -r xx-1
It seemed to work fine and dandy until it got into the branch (where
I was having the original issues).
It gave me the following error message;
svn: Failed to add directory 'palcare/branches': an unversioned
directory of the same name already exists
now since I completely removed the palcare directory;
sudo rm -r palcare
(and I confirmed that it certainly was not there prior to doing the
checkout)
I am wondering, how on earth did the branches directory and a single
sub directory of the branches directory suddenly appear?
It is not in the user feedback from the checkout operation that the
branches directory was added...
Subsequently I did;
svn update branches -r xx-1 and that sort of worked... in so far as
all directories but one has been added to my WC.
which I had to add manually and then update into.
Without the pre-creation of the directory it added the contents of
that missing directory into the root of the branches directory.
I am still none the wiser as to how it happened or why it is still
misbehaving, considering I am doing a fresh checkout.
What are the chances of there being a repository issue, as opposed to
a working copy issue?
and if this is likely - is there an appropriate command / set of
commands that I should run to ensure the ongoing health of the
repository?
Thanks again.
