Output of svn co - what does E mean?
I just did the following on a server:
svn co <URL> --force --username USER --password PASS .
I was in a directory that already had contents that had, at one time,
come from <URL> but it was not a WC yet (my goal was to get everything
from the URL and then just be able to svn up in the future).
The output of svn co showed an E in the first column for many files
during the checkout. I can't find a reference to this "status" in the
help for co or st. What does it mean?

Maintaining duplicates is generally frowned upon. There is a note in 'svn help
co' (at least my latest trunk version), which goes something like this:
See also 'svn help update' for a list of possible characters
reporting the action taken.
I think that's probably sufficient.

Before working on the patch, I'd ask on dev@. I am assuming there are
people that have objections for some reason as I cannot see why else
the information is not already repeated.

Can a subset of this be added to the help for svn co, since those same
statuses can be reported during that operation? If I can find time
some evening I may check out a copy of the source & try to write a
patch myself.

svn help update has it.
For each updated item a line will start with a character reporting the
action taken. These characters have the following meaning:
A Added
D Deleted
U Updated
C Conflict
G Merged
E Existed
A character in the first column signifies an update to the actual file,
while updates to the file's properties are shown in the second column.
A 'B' in the third column signifies that the lock for the file has
been broken or stolen.
If --force is used, unversioned obstructing paths in the working
copy do not automatically cause a failure if the update attempts to
add the same path. If the obstructing path is the same type (file
or directory) as the corresponding path in the repository it becomes
versioned but its contents are left 'as-is' in the working copy.
This means that an obstructing directory's unversioned children may
also obstruct and become versioned. For files, any content differences
between the obstruction and the repository are treated like a local
modification to the working copy. All properties from the repository
are applied to the obstructing path. Obstructing paths are reported
in the first column with code 'E'.

We've since trashed the WC and checked out fresh, due to non-SVN
issues with how the code was installed on the server a while back. But
this explanation does help and makes sense int he context of what I
saw.
Is this documented somewhere? I didn't see it in the manual or svn help.

This is a new feature in 1.5. It stands for 'E'xists. Prior to 1.5
the command would have failed if files existed. Now, it leaves those
files in place and "slides" the working copy underneath. You should
be able to run svn st and see if there are differences and you could
then revert or commit.
