Question

I’m trying to add project to svn and got such error:

Warning: Project ‘C:\myproj.csproj’ not added to Subversion because it is out of working copy. Please setup working copy root using VisualSVN -> Set Working Copy Root menu.

What should I do? What should be set as Working Copy Root?

Answer 1

You should set the working copy root to a folder where your checked out working copies resides. Like c:\svnwork\. Then you move C:\myproj.csproj to that working copy.

I’m pretty sure you don’t want to check out a working copy directly in c:\.

To be clear, you need to have a checked out working copy and all files you want to add do that working copy needs to be in a subpath of that working copy.
