In NetBeans, there is an option to do Team -> Subversion -> Checkout. However, I am worried that if I do this, it will save a second copy of the SVN folder (I already have one that exists on my desktop). I only want to get to the choice: Team -> Import for repository, and just import a single project. Is there an option that uses the checked out svn folder already on my desktop or do I need to check it out separately from NetBeans and use additional space?
Thanks.
In the checkout window, log in to the subversion repository and then there will be an option to browse for the specific folders you want to check out. Leaving it empty will mean you will want to checkout the whole svn folder.
