Your checkout will however probably contain a lot of outdated compiled units and directories that have been removed from svn (but which weren't deleted in your local copy because they still contained "units" directories).

I use fixes_2_4, not trunk. But what you said doesn't matter what
source we use, right?
I always used these scripts to compile:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus#Compiling.2Finstalling_FPC_and_Lazarus_from_Sources_of_SVN_.28Win32.29

The Tortoise deletes many files when I'm updating the sources. I
thought everything was working as it should.

I can use this command? make distclean clean all
