Re: ... is already a working copy for a different url
You might be looking for the relocate command, execute it on the current working copy and tell it which server folder it should be: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svn.c.relocate.html Doing svn info . Shows the current server url, might be wise to check if that is what you think it is I don't know how to do this in your client Op vrijdag 2 februari 2018 heeft Martin Bo Andersen <m...@logossmartcard.com> het volgende geschreven: > I couldn’t find FAQs addressing my problem, even though it’s probably > simple, and the archives tried to help people that wanted something more > than the basics. > But I’m not trying to do anything “clever”. > It’s just a checkout. > (I’m using Tortoise, but I don’t think Tortoise is the cause of this > problem ... unless it’s doing something I’m unaware of.) > > I have a directory structure with a folder and three subfolders > Xsvn > -- X1 > -- X2 > -- X3 > > I can checkout X1, X2, and X3. > When I try to checkout files from Xsvn to Xpc, I get “Xpc is already a > working copy for a different url” > > If this is really true, then > 1) it is not on purpose - I don’t want it to be a working copy for a > different url > 2) I don’t know which “different URL” > 3) I don’t know how to solve it. > > It’s possible that it WAS a working copy for a different URL, because I > didn’t know how SVN wanted things, but I have re-arranged my folders, so > there should be no such problem any more. > How do I know which URL is the problem? > How can I make SVN forget the wrong URL, so that I can use the folder for > the right URL? > > Thanks > > Martin >

But if you must use the existing folder: If you delete the .svn directory in the target dir you are trying to check out into then it stops being a working copy altogether... Notice that .svn is a hidden folder so if you are on Windows you won't see it unless you modify the Windows Explorer view properties to show hidden files and folders. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
... is already a working copy for a different url
I couldn’t find FAQs addressing my problem, even though it’s probably simple, and the archives tried to help people that wanted something more than the basics. But I’m not trying to do anything “clever”. It’s just a checkout. (I’m using Tortoise, but I don’t think Tortoise is the cause of this problem ... unless it’s doing something I’m unaware of.) I have a directory structure with a folder and three subfolders Xsvn -- X1 -- X2 -- X3 I can checkout X1, X2, and X3. When I try to checkout files from Xsvn to Xpc, I get “Xpc is already a working copy for a different url” If this is really true, then 1) it is not on purpose - I don’t want it to be a working copy for a different url 2) I don’t know which “different URL” 3) I don’t know how to solve it. It’s possible that it WAS a working copy for a different URL, because I didn’t know how SVN wanted things, but I have re-arranged my folders, so there should be no such problem any more. How do I know which URL is the problem? How can I make SVN forget the wrong URL, so that I can use the folder for the right URL? Thanks Martin
