There're files/folders that were deleted and then re-added to the repository.
svn update > gives me the right-updated revision. files and folders are correctly displayed in the svn repository, if I run 'svn update' 'svn diff' my workspace folder seems in sync but the files/folders are not checked out... any idea of what the problem is?
If I check out the project from scratch once again the files/folders are checked out correctly
I would try to do a clean 'svn checkout'. Sometimes the local information is not properly in sync in causes this kind of effects.
You might be running into the following problem
From the article:
With an 1.6.1 client, there's a situation where new files aren't fetched in an update.
This happens when adding a new folder with --depth=empty, which is what TSVN uses to avoid that files which the user doesn't want to add get added automatically too. See the comments in the script.
The solution (thanks wcoenen):
svn update --set-depth infinity
