Checkout into a unversion directory that contains the same folder/file names

[Graeme Kidd <co...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,
When I want to checkout a folder from the repository into an un-versioned 
directory that already contains the same folders names as the versioned 
directory in the repository I get this message:

svn: Failed to add directory 'Parent Folder\Child Folder': an unversioned 
directory of the same name already exists

I was hoping that it would instead act in the same way Tortoise SVN does, in 
that it alerts you that some folders are the same and simply merges any 
files into the folders that have the same name.

Is it possible to do the same thing in the subversion command line client?

Thanks

Thanks Bob the --force option worked.

Have you tried the --force option? (which I am pretty sure TSVN uses)
