Ah crap.. That's branches that I've created. This is where I was a bit confused with SVN. Are those really folders in the source repo? I think that if you check out trunk there should be no such folders. BR /Pascal 3 jan 2014 kl. 21:47 skrev Joachim <li...@sd...>: > Hi, > > there are five system-test folders.
