[TYPO3-core] SVN F#%&up

Hi Kasper,

I will take care of this tonight or tomorrow morning. Will report back when 
it's done. Until then, please NOBODY commit any changes to SVN (just to be 
sure).

I might have asked you already, but can't remember: Did you ever try to use 
the commandline client instead of the Eclipse plugin? After all I must say 
that it is so easy to be used, that I even prefer it over kdesvn (something 
like cervisia for Subversion). Please try, and tell me how it works.

Additionally, I wonder if it's possible that I will send you a checked out 
version including the .svn directories. Andreas, would this contain any 
user-specific information? Probably this would be a good kickstart for your 
system, and updating would work fine after that...?

If nothing helps, we may investigate this tomorrow on Skype if you like.

Honestly, but this is out of question. I would rather offer to commit changes 
for you instead of switching back to CVS - or buy you a real computer! ;-)

I will do.

Good point! I also need some help with Eclipse :-) Still working with 
commandline client and kate as the editor - and still pretty happy with it.
