Help!
Subversion seems to be doing something it really can't be doing. I am using
Tortoise SVN as well as the CollabraNet Eclipse plugin on Windows 7; my
repository is located on a remote machine. When I accidentally deleted a
file (not in Subversion) and wanted to get it back from the repository, I
went to the repo-browser and try to check it out. It says it has updated
the file, but there is still no file there. What it's updated, I can't
tell. If I completely delete the project and recheck out the entire
project, the file is there. But that loses any changes I have made and is
in any case tedious and should be unnecessary.
Is this considered normal behavior? If so, I now have a reason to recommend
against Subversion to my superiors. Up till now it seemed to be working as
expected (we are testing it on a new project) and I was quite pleased, but
if I can't refresh my files, then the point of having Subversion in the
first place is lost, to me.
Has anyone else a similar experience?
