Feature Request: Give Nice error message when attemping to checkout overtop of existing local copy

[Jonathan Arkell <jo...@sanriowasteland.net>]

Just a quick feature request.

When attempting to check out over top of an existing local copy, 
subversion complains about version mis-matches.  Instead, could it make 
a nicer complaint like "Cannot Check out over existing local copy, 
please update instead", or words to that effect?

(Yea yea, I know, "Doctor, Doctor, it hurts when I do this!" "Well, 
don't do that!" ;)

Thanks!

However, note that the suggestion "update instead" does not apply if
the user is attempting to restart an incomplete checkout.

Seems reasonable.  Care to work up a patch... (?) :-)

See the HACKING file for details on how, if so.
