Giulio, That seemed to work well, except now when I try to checkout one of my projects, I get this:
anw-dev:/home/anw/TechProjects# svn co file:///var/svn/NetDataSvc . svn: Failed to add directory 'NotUsed': an unversioned directory of the same name already exists "NotUsed" contains, as the name implies, a couple of C++ and .h source files that I'm not currently using but wanted to hang on to. It is a subdirectory under NetDataSvc. > -----Original Message----- > From: Giulio Troccoli [mailto:giulio.trocc...@uk.linedata.com] > Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2010 8:20 AM > To: anw-d...@infoisland.net; users@subversion.apache.org > Subject: RE: Repository Directory Tree > > > > > > > > Linedata Limited > Registered Office: 85 Gracechurch St., London, EC3V 0AA > Registered in England and Wales No 3475006 VAT Reg No 710 3140 03 > > -----Original Message----- > > > > From: Allen Williams [mailto:alad...@csunv.com] > > Sent: 07 September 2010 12:24 > > To: users@subversion.apache.org > > Subject: RE: Repository Directory Tree > > > > I *think* that proj1/2/3 are separate projects inside one > > repository, but none of those distinctions were very clear to > > me (I DID read the manual, cover to cover).
