Question

I have files in subversion that do not seem to be appearing in my remote svn repository, but they appear as version-controlled under my directory structure according to Tortoise. Furthermore, Tortoise allows me to commit these files and successfully accepts any changes I make, yet I attempted to checkout the entire project on a new computer and many files are missing according the repository browser.

Has anyone run into this issue? Is there a somewhat easy fix?

Thanks.

Copying folders to your svn checkout directory is always a problem. Do this,

• Checkout your project again.
• Use meld or araxis merge to compare your checkin/workinprogress folders.
• Now manually create any folders in the checkin directory and copy all files from workinprogress to checkin folders.

DONT

• copy folders from workinprogress
• copy any .svn folders from workinprogress to checkin.

Now, do a

• svn status
• add/delete all ?/! files/folders. OR just run a sudo svn –force add.
• Finally sudo svn commit.

Command line on svn ROCKS. Tortoise is good, but command line beats it all.
