I’m using TortoiseSVN.
I had previously been working with only one subfolder of a repository folder. So I was only updating/commiting on that subfolder and never downloaded the other ones.
I would now want to retrieve the whole main folder. So I did a checkout on the parent directory but obviously when I want to update on the parent directory it tells me that a
versioned directory of the same name already exists
How can I indicate to SVN that this directory is already downloaded?
The simplest answer, assuming everything is checked in, is to simply blow away the directory and let Subversion check it out again.
