svn-checkout

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 saw in another question that a solution may be to simply delete the .svn directory. I tried

I have a home-grown automated build script in the form of a DOS batch file. In part of that script, I check out (with "svn checkout") a section of our SVN repository that includes a bunch of third-party stuff that's used in our projects.

I'm using a subversion repository and I want to know whenever somebody asks my repository for a checkout; like a 'svn co' or an 'svn up'.

The following are all the supported hooks in Subversion 1.5, from the Version Control with Subversion book: start

Problem How do you create a shallow copy with git-svn from a Subversion repository, e.g. how do you pull only the last three revisions? The git clone command can get the last n revisions from a Git repository if you use the option --depth , i.e. you get a shallow copy of the repository. Example: git clone --depth 3 git://some/repo myshallowcopyrepo Is there a similar option for git-svn? My discoveries so far So far I've only found the -rN option where N is the revision to pull. Example: git svn clone -rN svn://some/repo According to the documentation there is the possibility to use -r
