So, lately I've been doing lots of the following:
$ rmdir /s /q Subdir
$ svn up
A Subdir
A Subdir/foo
...
Basically, I get my a subdirectory of working copy in some weird state and
need to get a clean directory from the repository.
The problem is that we have some subdirectories with hundreds-to-thousands
of files, and sometimes the update will be interrupted in various ways.
What is frustrating is that the interrupted update leaves the working copy
in a bad state - the next svn update returns with an error about revision 0
of the Subdir, and svn cleanup does not correct the situation.
Ultimately, I usually end up recreating the working copy from scratch (since
checkouts seem to be more robust than updates). This leads to lots of
downtime.
So the question is:
- Can update be more robust about interruptions; maybe do some
checkpointing or logging?
- If not, can cleanup at least detect and correct the problem so that I can
run svn up without being forced to re-remove the directory?
- Is there an alternative that I'm not aware of?
