Path already exists
Hi all-
Sorry to be such a noob, but I haven't found a satisfactory answer
anywhere via Google et al and this is intensely frustrating:
I have created an svn repository both locally and remote to another
machine where I alreadyh have Apache configured, and I get the same
error every time:
svn: Path 'file:///whatever' already exists
Here's what I'm doing:
$ svnadmin create /Users/ron/svn_test
$ ls ./svn_test
README.txt dav format locks
conf db hooks
$ vi nothing.txt
<add a couple of lines to nothing.txt>
$ svn import ./nothing.txt file:///Users/ron/svn_test -m "this will not work"
svn: Path 'file:///Users/ron/svn_test' already exists
This is all happening all of a sudden....I didn't upgrade svn, didn't
touch my machine. To be honest, I haven't *created* a repo for awhile,
I've just been happily working along but now I need to create some
more and I'm getting this.
This is on MacOS X 10.4 using svn 1.2.3 which I got as part of the
Fink project.
I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid, but the doubly stupid part
is that I have no idea what. I verified against the FAQ and the book,
but no joy.
Ron

Indicate the complete repository URL at which you want the item to be
available after import:
$ svn import ./nothing.txt file:///Users/ron/svn_test/nothing.txt -m
"this works"

Ron Hi
=====
You need to add the file name you are importing as a postfix of the URL:
svn import -m "this will work" nothing.txt
file:///Users/ron/svn_test/nothing.txt.

Just a wild stab in the dark, but try adding an extra / after the URL...
I almost never use import myself, though -- I prefer creating the trunk
folder directly in the repo and then checking it out. While it's empty
you can even check it out to an existing folder, and then you can 'svn
add' from there. Gives much better control of what's going on than 'svn
import' does.
