title: SVN authorization failure, trunk non-existent in head revision, getting a GIT repository working in Eclipse
body: <p>To simplify things, I have one local SVN repository <code>D:\folder\repo_name</code> and I have svnserve running as a service with root set to the mentioned path. Subclipse and SmartSVN can connect to the repository, also displays the correct head revision number, but when I try to explore the trunk (the only branch) it gives the following error: <code>URL 'svn://localhost/trunk' non-existent in that revision</code>. This while I can check out the complete repository perfectly fine. But I don't need the all the branches, I need just the contents of the trunk.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to commit I get the error <code>Authentication failed</code>. However my credentials were fine when checking out earlier.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to get my stuff out of there and move to GIT (which I suppose would be best as everything is always kept local), the <code>git svn clone</code> process completes, I see all my revisions and files pass in GIT Bash, and then try to import it in Eclipse. I see that it tries to import the project into the repository directory itself (see <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Image:Egit-0.9-import-projects-general-project.png" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Image:Egit-0.9-import-projects-general-project.png</a>). Needless to say I get the error in the shape of <code>D:\folder\repo_name_git overlaps the location of another project: 'repo_name_git'</code> What I don't get is why I can't seem to find a single way to let me specify where I want the project to import into.</p>
  
  <p>Alternatively, when I add the project in the git repository as an existing project into Eclipse, and then - through the Team > Share menu - try to get under version control, I get the error <code>Can not move project to target location D:\folder\repo_name_git, as this location overlaps with location D:\folder\repo_name_git, which contains a .project file</code></p>
  
  <p>I'm at a loss and these errors are to generic to give me an idea of how to tackle them. Any heads up would be appreciated.</p>
