Example Problem Chap. 2, pg 22

I’ve run into another problem with following along in the examples. I upgraded OS X to Leopard (full wipe) over the weekend and started reading Deploying Rails Applications again from the beginning.

I followed the examples exactly, creating the directories via svn mkdir, then creating the rails application and checking out trunk into the applications root directory. The commands I ran:

svn mkdir ......
rails ~/deployit
svn checkout file://..../trunk ~/deployit
cd ~/deployit

When it comes to running

svn add .

I get the following error: svn: warning: '.' is already under version control

I looked this up on the SVN FAQ and it says to delete the .svn directories. However, after doing this and I run the command I get the following:

svn: '.' is not a working copy
svn: Can't open file '.svn/entries': No such file or directory

I eventually rechecked out trunk into the root directory and used --force with the svn add command to get it to work.

Wondering if I did something wrong, or if this should perhaps be mentioned in the footnotes that you may have to force the addition?

Again, this on OS X 10.5.1 and SVN 1.4.4

Thanks.

Same problem here …
