Hi Karl, thanks for your reply. I just want to upload some unversioned code, but if I use 'svn add' like that page suggests then I get the error: svn: '.' is not a working copy which makes sense, as far as my understanding of subversion goes. 'svn import' is for uploading unversioned files. I don't mind switching to git if it is more straightforward. Thanks, cheers. Jeremy
