Hi,

your problem is not clear from your mail. However, it appears that you
are confusing fundamental concepts. Maybe you want to carefully read
the book first: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.tour.html

If you want to talk about working copies, svn checkout is the only way
to go. So why do you mention export here? Does it have any relevance
to your problem?

What is in your repository, and what is in your working copy?
How do you end up with the same project name in the repository and in
your working copy without those being synchronized somehow?
Maybe you want to show your repository layout, WC layout and the
actual command you run and its output.

You are showing the ouput for 'status', not for 'update'. And what is
surprising about this output?

This is the output of 'commit' or 'update' ?

Overall, it is not clear what you are trying to do. Without this
information it is hard to help you. Try explain what you want to
achieve, how your data looks like, which command you run and what
their output is. Then maybe we can work something out for you.
