I assumed that I could go on working in my original project folder but I have to work in the working directory - right? Last question what happens with my original project folder \ETE? It won't be touched and changed and updated by TortoiseSV - correct?
You have to work in *a* working copy. If you prefer to work in your original project folder, you should be able to checkout to that folder (turning it into a working copy) and Subversion will pick up your existing file and make them "versioned". Make sure to checkout the correct URL, ie if you have the standard /branches, /tags, /trunk structure you should probably checkout [repository]\trunk. When doing this the first time, it is probably a good idea to have a backup if you checkout the wrong folder. Subversion should not overwrite existing files (they will turn up as modified) but will add any new files from the repository. Kind regards, Daniel daniel.l...@gmail.com schrieb am Dienstag, 26.

Previously I had then 3 folder: - my project: .. \Experts\ETE\ - the repos: .. \MT5\ETE_Repos - and this: ..\MT5\ETE_Reposwc (prev with the files from ETE). Now after de- and re-installing TortoiseSVNI and after the same procedure as before (I think) have now 4(?) folders: - my project: .. \Experts\ETE\ (with my project files and not labeled like: chg, unchg, ...) - the repos: .. \MT5\ETE_Repos (with the folders conf, db, hooks, .. ) - this: ..\MT5\ETE_Reposwc ( with the folders branches, tags & trunc, all with green ticks and none of my files) - and this (new): \Experts\ETE\ETE_Repos with all my files, and the folders branches, ETE_Repo, tags, trunk and all is ticked in green. I am quite confused. I expect to be able to continue working in my project directory but it seems to me that this is exactly what TortoiseSVN is not interested in? You should work in the "working copy", ie where you did the checkout. It sounds that you checked out to \Experts\ETE\ETE_Repos. The checkout dialog adds the repository name (except some well known repository paths like trunk) to the "Checkout directory" if you try to checkout to an existing directory. You probably wanted to check out to \Experts\ETE (and you probably want to check out only /trunk, not the repository root).
