Eclipse/Subclipse Is a Handful

GAARH.

A free (as in speech and beer, and beer I would need right now) tip for y'all: If you have an entry in SVN (and use subversion to handle that) and want to redo the whole file/directory and still have a backup of it, do not - and I repeat NOT - rename the old file/directory and try to create a new, blank, one instead. Subclipse gets very angry of this, and everything goes awry.

Yes, I figure I should've done a branch/tag and done it that way, but it didn't hit me until I saw the aftermath. It's ugly. Believe me. Don't do that.

Now, back to repairing stuff to the way they were...
