Hi John

This came up in this list a couple of weeks ago:
The original query:
1 - Is there any way to put a folder structure under source
control other than select the folder, Import (into
Tortoise repository), rename or delete the original
folder and check out from the repository again?
a tad roundabout (and I hate deleting or renaming the
working source folder!)
My reply:

Try this (using TortoiseSVN):
1. using the RepositoryBrowser, Create a new folder directly
in the repository - name it something appropriate (myProject)
2. right-click on the existing folder you wish to put under
version control and select **CheckOut**
3. Select the empty folder you created in step 1
4. TortoiseSVN will ask for confirmation that you wish to
check-out into a non-empty folder (say YES/OK)
This will create the .svn folder but won't change any existing files as
the folder you've just checked-out is empty.
5. You can then commit in the usual way and all the pre-existing
files will be detected as new and will be added when you commit.
Not exactly obvious but simple enough. Saw it ages ago on the
TortoiseSVN mailing list - just tried it and it works as expected.
