I had been avoiding using live folders since I thought that they would
include in the project everything in the working folder - there were many
things that I didn't want to have in the project to clutter it up. However
it seems that I was wrong in thinking this - must read through the help file
again.

I'm the only one that will be using the repository - I wanted to have one so
that I could keep better control over the various versions. Following what
you said I used Apple+I to open up the info window and just added myself
with read+write permissions. Before changing to live folders the file that I
had amended has now updated the repository so that's working OK.

I still have problem with the missing file - update doesn't bring it back. I
did get a message at one point that the working copy of the file was missing
so I think it must have done something wrong in the way I deleted it in the
first place. I'm going to try deleting another file and then restoring it
from the repository and see if it works for that one.

Just one final thing. Am I correct in thinking that to restore an existing
file to an earlier revision it's correct to use svn copy one?

Many thanks for your help.

Regards
EricR

  Yes, you need to convert to live folders.  Once you do that, Komodo
  will see all your changes, and be much happier.
  
  I'm not 100% familiar with Macs, but I'm sure you can use System
  Preferences to manipulate users and groups. Personally, I would create
  a subversion group, and then add myself to that group. Once the group
  was created, I would find the repository using finder, select that
  folder, press Apple+i and use that to recursively change permissions
  on the folder.
  
  cheers,
  Anton
