import/checkout

[Jim Anderson <ja...@jandernet.com>]

I finally managed to create my first set of project files, whew! I  
then imported from a source directory; so far so good. But a checkout  
fails, apparently because the code is still in the directory from  
which I imported it. Do I need to delete the code from the directory  
before  I can do an import? The book isn't exactly clear on this  
point...

Thanks,
Jim

After you import, you should be able to delete the directory from  
which you imported and then check out.

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/ 
svn.tour.importing.html#svn.tour.importing.import

"Note that after the import is finished, the original tree is not  
converted into a working copy. To start working, you still need to  
svn checkout a fresh working copy of the tree" (into a different  
directory).


Or, you could have done an in-place import.
