   This is the root of your problems: you're doing a checkout into an
   existing directory that already contains files.  You should always let
   checkout create a brand new directory.

OK.  I thought that the fact that the first checkout went through
without any errors meant that it was not wrong to do it.

Thanks for the clarification,
