In principle SVN will be able to tell you if your checked out copy differs at all from what is in the repo. However, given you've said you don't want to do that.... > Neither on-system documentation nor the deeper documentation > listed therein show how to do this.

Nope. rm -rf of the checked out filesystem is going to blow away everything you had and let you start again from scratch. The only things that could remain are entries under ~/.subversion (or /root/.subversion) which will contain such things as records of SSL keys to trust or login details if you needed a password for access. You probably don't need to worry about doing anything to those. Cheers, Matthew
