Help! Subversion seems to be doing something it really can't be doing. I am using Tortoise SVN as well as the CollabraNet Eclipse plugin on Windows 7; my repository is located on a remote machine. When I accidentally deleted a file (not in Subversion) and wanted to get it back from the repository, I went to the repo-browser and try to check it out. It says it has updated the file, but there is still no file there. What it's updated, I can't tell. If I completely delete the project and recheck out the entire project, the file is there. But that loses any changes I have made and is in any case tedious and should be unnecessary.
Is this considered normal behavior? If so, I now have a reason to recommend against Subversion to my superiors. Up till now it seemed to be working as expected (we are testing it on a new project) and I was quite pleased, but if I can't refresh my files, then the point of having Subversion in the first place is lost, to me. Has anyone else a similar experience? David Sills
