I have not been able to google a solution to this error, and I didn’t  
find anything about it in the group archives. Here is what happens:

C:\path to\my project\>ruby script\generate scaffold article  
title:string body:text --svn  
exists app/models/  
exists app/controllers/  
exists app/helpers/  
create app/views/articles  
svn: ‘C:’ is not a working copy  
svn: Can’t open file ‘C:.svn\entries’: The system cannot find the  
path specified.

(and so on, for every file/dir created by the script)

This is Rails 2.0.2 on Win XP. All I had done beforehand was check  
out the project from svn and move into its directory. I am new to  
svn, so probably I did something wrong, but it looks like the generate  
script is parsing the paths incorrectly.

Thanks.
