Hi Jon
The .svn subdirectories contain the needed info, I don't think you need to
register your local directory. If you right click on the root directory and
choose "Relocate...", you should see something like that :
https://oorexx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/oorexx
If you still have problems, then remove your svn tree and recreate it using
"SVN Checkout..." from your root directory.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance,
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
