Good morning, 
I'm working with a local project already versioned in SVN, 
When I execute the command line  svn status 
C:\Users\svgchi_bgrfvt>svn status "C:\DepthCam Cal"

Im getting the next error message,

svn: E720002: Can't open file 'C:\DepthCam Cal\.svn\pristine\93\931129534ff4d198a85adcc0a985e405f47a05d7.svn-base': The system cannot find the file specified.


I already tried several options:
- Import my project to SVN and then perform SVN Checkout

But the problem continues.

Is there a way to correct it?

Im using last version of TortoiseSVN, 1.14.5, Build 29465

The pristine file is the "original" copy of one of the files in your working copy, Subversion use it (among other things) as a base when checking the changes in your working copy. It should not disappear, unless you've messed around in the .svn folder or some program (antivirus being the likeliest candidate) have deleted the file in the background.

Best way is probably to make a new checkout from the repository and see if there is a difference. If that works, you could probably copy the missing file from the .svn folder in the new working copy (or even replace the whole .svn directory in the old working copy with the one from the new working copy). Make a backup first, of course!

Kind regards,
Daniel
