Description

Sometimes a subversion working copy gets corrupted and can not be repaired through the user interface. This is possible when you have a strange build which overwrites directories or conflicting commits/build. It would be nice if the User interface offered a possibility to recreate the working copy (remove and new checkout for example).

We had a directory called etc. In a few commits someone removed that directory, another one added build code to create a file in that directory and another person added this folder again in SVN. Continuum (or rather the SVN under it) was a little confused and could not update.
