Thanks for the quick response. Ok but not sure that solves my problem. The situation is this. The original files are on a remote web server and these files can't be erased, and the only privilege I have are to copy paste and delete files. I can't create any directories or a repository on the server. I have to create the repository on my local computer and then import the files to my computer. I then check out the files to a dir on my computer to work on them and commit back to the repository. So my problem once the testing is done is there anyway for TortoiseSVN to merge the completed files back to the server.
