Question to svn co

[Rainer Sokoll <R....@intershop.de>]

Hi all,

I am sure this is a stupid question, but I could not find a solution:
I want to have the configuration of a particular Linux box under version
control, namely /etc.
OK, so I did a svn import. Now I have /etc in the remote repository,
fine. But how do I turn /etc into a working copy? I cannot do a svn
checkout, since /etc is not empty.
Can someone please give me a light?

Thanks,
Rainer

You could have done an in-place import:

Or perhaps FSVS would help you:
