README.txt, dav, db, etc. in repository

[Joe Cooper <jo...@enthought.com>]

Hi all,

We have several SVN repositories here, and most are working fine...but one of them has somehow ended up with the README.txt and format files, and the db, dav, hooks, etc. directories in the repository--so when I use 'svnlook tree' or browse via WebDAV, I see all of this extraneous stuff listed, likewise if we do a checkout we get all of the files in the directory rather than just the stuff we actually want under version control.

I'm rather baffled about how these things got into the repository, but mainly I just want to know how to safely get them out.  Anyone have any pointers?

Thanks!

Chances are real good that the db, dav, hooks stuff *in* the
repository don't actually represent the repository itself.  This kinda
thing can happen if someone runs 'svnadmin create' in a working copy,
and then accidentally commits the little repos they made.
