Base checksum mismatch

Windows 2000 remembers case-information on filenames but does not use them in file-manipulation. So x and X are considered one file. Removing one file (e.g. x) and moving X into the working-directory confuses SVN.
Solution found on http://jroller.com/page/dunpanic?entry=subversion_base_checksum_mismatch --Base checksum mismatch: text-edit .svn/entries - remove the checksum (and maybe one version of either x or X).

Check out single file

Not possible. One can only check out whole directories. [1]

Case Mismatch

Downloading two files only differing in case (A.xml and a.xml), Windows will stumble (and so does SVN).

Failed to add 'XXX': object of the same name already already exists

• http://tortoisesvn.berlios.de/?q=node/8 (linking to hook-script preventing checkins that result in case-conflicts)

Update!

Even though you are the only one working on the project, your working copy isn't really at the latest revision until you update it from the repository. For example, the "svn log" command shows the history of changes, but only up to your latest "svn update" revision.[2]

Rollback

• use svn merge:
  • http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch04s04.html#svn-ch-4-sect-4.2 --Undoing Changes
• Also: Q&A @ TortoiseSVN
  
  
• merge creates a patch between two revision and applies that patch against a file [3]:
  svn merge -rN:M file

Commit

You can only commit files at HEAD.[4]
