Messed up Repository

[Rowan Sylvester-Bradley]

I have just had a situation where Tortoise told me that my repository was corrupt. I tried to do Clean-up, but this failed with error:

---------------------------

Subversion Exception!

---------------------------

Subversion encountered a serious problem.

Please take the time to report this on the Subversion mailing list

with as much information as possible about what

you were trying to do.

But please first search the mailing list archives for the error message

to avoid reporting the same problem repeatedly.

You can find the mailing list archives at

Subversion reported the following

(you can copy the content of this dialog

In file

 'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.9.4\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_client\cleanup.c'

 line 227: assertion failed (svn_dirent_is_absolute(dir_abspath))

---------------------------

OK

I then tried checking out to a new folder source3. This gave me the following directory structure (see attachment).

As far as I know, what I need within source3 is an 'include' directory, and a 'public_html' directory, containing a 'choir' directory and an 'swchoir' directory. What I got includes 4 copies of 'include' and 4 copies of 'public_html' (one being inside another). This excludes anything that may be inside .svn. There are several references to branches. As far as I know I don't have any branches, and I don't need any. My questions are:

1. Which of these contains my most recent files, and should I use for onward development?

2. Why do I have so many copies?

3. How do I clean this up?

Thanks for your help.
