I'm trying to svn checkout into my public_html folder, but I get this error: svn: '.' is already a working copy for a different URL
My brother already set up a boiler plate site for me, but I've changed it and put those changes into a repo of my own. How do I make this folder not be a working copy of the repo he set up originally?
Can I delete the public_html folder and make a new one? I'm fine with starting from scratch, as I'm going to just checkout an already installed drupal site onto this site.
I saw in another question that a solution may be to simply delete the .svn directory. I tried this, but it said permission denied for several subdirectories in .svn.
Thanks in advance for ANY help, hope this question isn't too dumb...
This sequence of commands should do it if you're in a hurry.
There's gotta be a way to update the working copy's reference url, but I don't know it off-hand.
$ svn diff > ../changes.patch
$ rm -rf * ..?*
$ svn checkout url
$ patch -p < ../changes.patch
