I have a folder that is my working copy. How do I remove all SVN functionality from this folder? There is a reason for me doing this, somehow my master folder that contains all my working copies of sites, has somehow been turned into a working copy itself, so I have a working copy within itself as such.
So, is there an easy way of removing version control from a folder?
A Subversion working copy is your own private working area, which looks like any other ordinary directory on your system. It contains a COPY of those files which you will have been editing on the website.
The working copy will be located in a directory called trunk on your computer relative to the directory you issued the command in. If you wish to have a different name for your working copy you can add that as a parameter to the end of the command. e.g. This will create a working copy called MyProjectSource .
Right click on the checked out folder, then use TortoiseSVN → Repo-Browser to bring up the repository browser. Find the sub-folder you would like to add to your working copy, then use Context Menu → Update item to revision....
Probably there's an uncommitted change, e.g., you added some dir/files to svn(but not committed), then accidentally deleted them. then use "svn revert" to revert the changes. after that, you can redo 'svn add' and 'svn ci' now.
svn export is the command you're looking for. You can export a controlled set of files to a non-controlled location and use that.
