Recently I was writing my rails / radiant application. I started out by not creating any subversion, adding some files, small extensions, etc.

After a while, I imported the application to a subversion repository. The headaches then started after. Basically I did the import by doing this :

svn import proj svn://my-repo-here.com/proj/trunk
mv proj proj_before_svn
svn co svn://my-repo-here.com/proj/trunk proj

After this, any changes I did to the project did not register. I tried to create a plugin, but it failed to load. I added raise statements to it, it did not pass through.

Later on, after doing some ls and realizing that things weren't as they seem, I think macosx dumped the disk cache in memory.

Hope this doesn't happen to anyone.
