FYI,

svn: Failed to add directory
'components/human-task/org.wso2.carbon.human-task.ui': an unversioned
directory of the same name already exists

This is a nasty issue. The reason for this is that when we have committed
some fixes, we have completely deleted the
'components/human-task/org.wso2.carbon.human-task.ui' directory and checked
it back again. If you have ever compiled the source at least once, there
will be an unversioned directory
'components/human-task/org.wso2.carbon.human-task.ui/target' which will
cause the SVN update to fail. This can be really annoying as SVN does not
have any proper way of determining whether such conflicts may pop up. And,
if there are several such changes, you might have to simply take a fresh
checkout.

Therefore, if we are ever going to replace the entire content of some
bundle, without actually changing the package name, delete
'components/human-task/org.wso2.carbon.human-task.ui/src' and restore it
back again, instead of deleting
''components/human-task/org.wso2.carbon.human-task.ui'.

I took Human Task UI as an example, to explain this situation, since it just
failed for me, but I've run into exactly same issue with several other
components in the past. So, I HTH.

Thanks,
Senaka.
