RE: [Subclipse-users] Switched flag appears to be broken

So... I switched to a different branch (from trunk to a release branch)
and it still didn't change the icon or the switched flag. Is that a bug?

        "Switched" is one of the statuses we get back from the SVN API
call we make when getting the statuses. The value of that boolean is
what drives the decorator.
        
        If you switched to an earlier revision, you definitely would NOT
see the icon. The only time you would ever see it is if you switch a
child path to a different URL. Such as swapping your "lib" folder to a
different branch or something. Even then, the internal code that
Subversion uses to determine if something is switched is very crude and
it is somewhat inconsistent about when it reports it as such. It really
depends on the context in which we ask for the information.
        The "externals" boolean has similar problems.
