I’m trying to install the simply\_rich\_authenticator plugin with the following command: ruby script/plugin install -x [http://simply-rich-authenticator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk](http://simply-rich-authenticator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk) The problem seems to stem from the -x option which, as I understand it, used to tell subversion to mark the plugin folder with the svn:externals attribute. After running for a while getting files, it returns the following error: vendor\plugins\svn\vendor\plugins\tiny\_mce’ is already a working copy for a different URL Any ideas what might be going on. I’m a bit of a newbie; any help would be appreciated! Thanks ---
