svn: Failed to add directory 'trunk': object of the same name already exists
Hi,
I have a folder named myproject in svn repository. The myproject contains 3 subfolders branches,tags and trunk.
I had to download it to my local machine. I was able to download using
svn co https://svn.url.com/myproject
No problem in this.
But I want to update my code in local machine from the svn repository frequently to receive new changes from repository.
When I tried using
svn update
it is displaying an error like
svn: Failed to add directory 'trunk': object of the same name already exists.
I have already made some changes in my trunk folder files. So I should be able to retain my changes as well as receive changes from the svn repository.
How can I solve this problem and update my local copy of the code from repository?
Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks in Advance.
Athi.
