Re: [Subclipse-users] Exporting non-existent revision

Glen,

This sounds like the correct behavior. Subversion versions the entire
repository, so when you commit to a branch, you create a "new revision"
of the trunk as well. Subversion is smart about how this is managed and
doesn't actually create a new copy of the trunk, but in all ways, this
new revision of trunk is valid. When you check out that revision of
trunk, Subclipse is just doing what you asked it to: checking out trunk
at that revision.

As far as lack of cleanup on cancel: that would be nice, but
command-line svn behaves the same way, so it's probably an API issue.
