I’m relatively new to SVN and have a rather basic question.
I have several small versioned resource images for a web project.
Today the designer updated one of those resources, so I should replace it.
Is the only way to update this file by first svn-delete it, commit and then svn-add the new one?
EDIT
As mentioned in the response, I could just overwrite the file.
Last time I tried that, I got a bunch of checksum errors on commit. Must have been some other reason..
If the new file has the same name svn should detect this as change to the file. So just copy the new file into the directory and replace the old one.
Also, see explanation of svn’s binary file handling.
