I have two paths, let’s say:

root\folder1
root\folder2

While the folder names are different, both contain files with the same names, just some of their contents differ. I have all the paths and all their files added to SVN. Now, I make a change to root\folder1\fileA and commit it. If I try to make a change to root\folder2\fileA, I get an error citing I need to update first. When I do update, my local copy is overwritten with the changes I just made to fileA under root\folder1. And this works vice versa.

I don’t know why this is happening. I even deleted root\folder2 and recreated it and re-added it to SVN. But the same thing is still happening…

    It sounds like folder1 and folder2 are two working copies of the same repository directory. If you check svn info (or the equivalent in tortoisesvn) for folder1 and folder2, that should
    give a clue as to what’s going on.
