Since you use TortoiseSVN, the other option would be to remove the .svn
folder and do a new checkout in the same directory. TortoiseSVN is quite
nice that it picks up the existing files and says "Versioned" on them and
you can usually continue as before. The command line client seems to mark
the existing files as "Conflict" and require a lot of manual work to
resolve. Of course, test it first but it might be an easier solution than
manually carrying over any changes to the new working copy.

I'd avoid editing wc.db - it usually works but I'd be careful asking
endusers to do it.

Kind regards,
