title: SharpSVN Path Problem
body: <p>Having a problem with SharpSVN (1.5 and 1.6) checking out code. (Note, I also have Tortoise 1.5 installed on my machine)</p>
  
  <p>This same code has worked previously, so I don't know why things might have broken.</p>
  
  <pre><code>using (SvnClient client = new SvnClient())
  {
      SvnUriTarget url = new SvnUriTarget(checkoutURL.ToString());
      client.Authentication.DefaultCredentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password);
      return client.CheckOut(url, destinationPath, out result); //error happens here
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code <em>pulls Down</em> a copy from SVN. It creates a copy into a directory named Sandbox.</p>
  
  <p>Nothing has changed (except my own System configuration, I'll get to that in a minute), however, now I get the error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>SharpSvn.SvnException: 
  Can't open file '..\..\..\TestHarness\Sandbox\testBuild\Trunk\TestProjects\XX\Source\XX.TestHarness\Tests\Service\_svn\tmp\text-base\IViewProject_Tester.cs.svn-base':
   The system cannot find the path specified.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now this is crazy.  This has pulled down fine before.  For it to tell me to run "Cleanup" insinuates that there was a working copy there previously!</p>
  
  <p>Also, you can also see that SharpSVN thinks that the .cs file is <em>inside</em> the _svn directory!</p>
  
  <p>About my setup..
  my system has Tortoise 1.5 on it (after downgrading from Tortoise 1.6 to see if I could fix this problem.. no go..</p>
  
  <p>since I am a .net developer, I did set up Tortoise to use _svn folders</p>
  
  <p>Any clues?  Even questions are welcome..</p>
