I forgot what my subversion working directory is set to

0

I am trying to checkout some files from an svn repo using the svn checkout command, and I get the error 

svn: 'path/to/mylocal/directory' is not a working copy

I don't know what the actual working copy is because I set it a while back I guess. Anyways, is there a way to resolve this issue? I need my local directory to be set to this repo.

1svn checkout creates a working copy; it doesn't expect to find one at the target path, and in fact probably throws an error if it does. What exact command are you running? – Aaron Miller – 2013-08-30T00:26:59.260

In subversion, you cannot check out files, only directories. What command did you run to get that error message? Were you trying to get specific files from the repository into a local directory somehow? – Ben – 2013-09-05T11:47:38.637

You should be able to use the svn ls XXXXXXX to navigate the svn filesystem and find the path you are looking for. The first bit might be a bit tricky to find though - if you don't know it you would need to look at the SVN server config.
