Subversion with Mac OS X

Question

I'm using the built in SVN with Mac OS X and I checked out a project via command line. I got all my projects and everything but the .svn folder wasn't created like it was on my PC. And now SVN is just treating my project like a folder and I can't do updates or anything. Any ideas?

.svn is not a valid folder name for Mac

Answer 1

What is the result of an svn st on the project directory on the local filesystem?

Answer 2

.svn certainly is a valid folder name on OS X. However, because it starts with a dot, ls will hide it by default. Try ls -a and see whether it shows up.

Answer 3

maybe you did export instead of check out?
