I’m adding an existing site to SVN.
The files already exist on the webserver, and now identical copies (- configuration files) exist in the repository.
I want to convert the webserver directory into an SVN working copy, but when I run:
svn checkout http://path.to/svn/repo/httpdocs . I get the error:
svn: Failed to add file ”: object of the same name already exists
How do I tell SVN to just overwrite those files whose contents are the same?
Try the
--forceoption.svn help checkoutgives the details.
