I'm not 100% sure by what you mean when you say 'disconnected' from
repository. Regardless of if you are using tigris or subversive, the
URL of the repository is the same, so it should be the case that both
approaches work.

SVN works on the URL of the repository - so you should be able to
right-click on the project, use Team->Synchronize to bring up the
Team Synch perspective, then use the synchronization view to sort
things out.

I know this is frustrating for you - try the Team->Synchronize
approach and see where it gets you and let us know.
