RE: Re: Merging and Sparse Checkouts

Thanks for your answers.
Unfortunately, your answer about my "externals" question seems not working.
I tried the extraction with "immediate children, including folders" with 2 differents clients :
- 1.5.3.13783 which is our production version
- 1.5.4.14259 for test
The result is the same in those two cases :
        MyBranch (immediate children, including folders)
        |_ Rep1 (empty)
        |_ Rep2 (empty)
But no external subdirectories.

Regards

Yes. See, the test merge doesn't actually do the merge, so it has to do a lot of guessing about the merge outcome, and that guessing is not always a 100% accurate.

checkout MyBranch with "immediate children, including folders".
Otherwise you won't get the externals.
