Answer 5

This happened when I updated a branch of an earlier release with files from the trunk. I used Windows Explorer to copy folders from my trunk checkout folder, and pasted them into my Eclipse view of the release branch checkout folder. Now Windows Explorer was configured not to show "hidden" files starting with ".", so I was oblivious to all the incorrect .svn files being pasted into my release branch checkout folder. Doh!

My solution was to blow away the damaged Eclipse project, check it out again, and then copy the new files in more carefully. I also changed Windows to show "hidden" files.
