Eclipse keeps setting incorrect repository root

Question

I have a project here:

svn+ssh://[email protected]/folder/ProjectName

The repository root is svn+ssh://[email protected]/folder

No matter how many times or how many ways I try checking out ProjectName, eclipse always helpfully tells me that the repository root is svn+ssh://[email protected].

I have another project in another repository:

svn+ssh://[email protected]/repos/OtherProject

Eclipse correctly identifies the repository root as svn+ssh://[email protected]/repos/

What settings, either in the svn repository or in Eclipse, would account for the discrepancy?

I am using JavaHL (JNI) and Eclipse Helios.

Found the solution , via an obscure mailing list post: http://svn.haxx.se/subusers/archive-2005-10/0103.shtml

Actually, the information is stored in the workspace folders .metadata/.plugins/org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core and org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.ui. I do not recommend to modify these files, because some have binary information. Instead, you could try to delete the files (or save at another location). Eclipse will then know nothing about SVN locations. You can then enter your correct repository again. It should map the existing projects to the new location.

I ran `

rm -rf workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.*

and that did the trick!
