SVN .xcodeproj conflict / transaction issue?

Question

I am trying to add my xcodeproj file/folder thingy to my svn repository.

medwall-macmini-1:Summer2010 pebble$ svn add CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj
A         CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj
A         CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj/pebble.pbxuser
A         CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj/pebble.perspectivev3
A         CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
A         CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj/slate.mode1v3
A         CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj/slate.mode2v3
A         CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj/slate.pbxuser
A         CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj/slate.perspectivev3
medwall-macmini-1:Summer2010 pebble$ svn ci -m "Checked In"
Adding         CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: File already exists: filesystem '/SVN/Summer2010/db', transaction '21-p', path '/CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj'

I then try to Delete it, Check-In, Update it, Add it, and then check it in again but I get the same exact run-around.

What can I do to fix this?

It would appear the SVN is telling you that CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj already exists in your repository. Your best bet is to rename your CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj to something else (CoreDataTrial.bak.xcodeproj, for example). Run an svn update to get the latest copy from SVN. Then take a look at your directory and see if CoreDataTrial.xcodeproj is there already. If it is, you need to delete the original and check in the new one, or integrate the two.
