I assumed that Subversion kept a copy of all the most current files in
browsable format and didn't just store the meta data (the file and history
information) in non browsable format.
I gave you the transcript in the first post. The only other thing I could
show you is a screenshot of Windows Explorer showing files and folders in
the working copy that aren't mirrored in the repository. But I think that's
pretty self explanitory.
If it is the case that Subversion only stores information in database format
once the intial collection of meta data is created then my other question is
why can't I remove parent directories which have contained files or folders
in them?
If I create an empty directory, commit it and then remove it, it's fine. If
I create an empty directory, commit it, add a file and commit it and then
try to remove the folder it refuses to commit. Even if I remove the file
from it first and successfully commit it.
I assumed it was because it wasn't properly keeping track of directories and
files that had been added even though it had said they were successfully
commited as the transcript I posted showed.
