Just want to call attention to this... You can't checkout into an existing directory without overwriting. I really would like to do in Versions what I do from the command line when I have an existing project I'm putting into svn. Say you already have files in the unversioned ~/Documents/Project. You have a skeleton repository with an empty directory /trunk/Project. You don't want to import and re-checkout. You would rather checkout /trunk/Project into ~/Documents/Project, then add all the files and commit. Right now, Versions doesn't let you -- if you try to checkout to a folder called the same thing as a pre-existing one, it says "Project" already exists. Do you want to replace it? [Cancel] [Replace]. I'd like a third option [Checkout] that would just checkout the contents into the existing folder and add the new working copy to Versions. Conceptually, supporting this would be a nice complement to the way the Import feature works -- that prompts "Insert the contents of the chosen folder: [Into the selected item] [Into a new folder created inside the selected item]". If someone finds this message when trying to figure out how to work this way, to do what you want, you have to go to the command line and go svn co <server>/trunk/Project ~/Documents/Project. Then add the working copy to Versions. Do the developers know about this? Are there any plans to support it? Am I wrong, and you can do this within Versions somehow?
