Hi there,
I am having trouble with getting a fresh working copy imported into a repository.
On my PC, when I start working on a new project, all the new files go into a new dedicated folder. The way I work is to start by developing v1 first. The general structure of my workspace is:
--Development
------Customer 1
----------Project 1
----------Project 2
------Customer 2
----------Project 1
----------Project 2
So, I will create a new project for a customer, populate the new project folder with files I have developed, and at that point I want to place the project under version control. Here are the steps I am following - perhaps someone can tell me where I am going wrong:
0. Create the project folder and populate it with files, etc. I call this step 0 because at this stage there is no repository or version control.
1. Create a new repository at Beanstalk (we use Beanstalk as our hosted Subversion provider)
2. In Syncro SVN Client, add the new repo location
3. Right click the new repo, and select Import Folder Content
4. Browse to the project folder I have just created and populated (from step 0 above)
5. The files etc are successfully imported to the repo - I can login to the Beanstalk interface, and see all the files which have been uploaded
6. In Syncro SVN Client, open the Working Copies Manager, and click Add
7. Give the new Working copy a name, and browse to the project folder I have just imported, and select it
At this point I get the error saying "Directory not under version control"
How do I get the directory which I have just imported to be under version control?
Cheers,
Paul
