Cornerstone isn't marking files as modified

Question

In Cornerstone v2.5.1. I've imported a local folder into the repository. I then selected Add Working Copy and selected this same local folder. It now shows on the left side with a brown folder and lock on it, like all my other working copies. The problem is that once I change any file i this folder, it is not flagged as modified and I cannot commit.

Did I do something wrong in this process or why isn't Cornerstone flagging changed files?

Answer 1

Importing a folder into subversion repo doesn't make it a working copy unlike, say hg init (you can see this by navigating to the folder with Terminal and ls -al; notice the absence of .svn folders inside.) You need to now check out from the repository and then add the folder created by the checkout to Cornerstone.
