RE: svn_client_update2 doesn't update directories. svn up does ?? ???

From: Byron Whitlock <bwhitlock_at_STORMFRONT.com>

The main problem here is somehow the repository got to a state where
the client thinks it is up to date, but is missing a directory in the
entries file and in the working copy.
I am still tracking down how this happened in the first place....

This is the same state as when you do a svn co -N (except svn puts all
subdirectories in this state).

The second problem is the difference between the way the svn works, and the
api.
"UI" is a folder neither in the working copy nor the entries file.

C:\projects\Testdb\Prospero\Local Assets>svn up
At revision 272.

C:\projects\Testdb\Prospero\Local Assets>svn up "UI"
A UI
A UI\XBox
A UI\XBox\Textures
Updated to revision 272.

If I make the equivalent call to svn up "UI" using svn_client_update2, I
just get 'svn_wc_notify_skip' in the notification callback. Nothing gets
updated.

Here is a snippet of code...
----------------------------------------
svn_opt_revision_t revision;

revision.kind=svn_opt_revision_unspecified;

apr_array_header_t* pPathsToUpdate = apr_array_make(mpMemoryPool, 1,
sizeof(const char*));

APR_ARRAY_PUSH(pPathsToUpdate, const char*) = absolutePathToUpdate.c_str();
// this is 'C:\projects\Testdb\Prospero\Local Assets\UI' in the prev example

apr_array_header_t* pRetrievedRevisionNumbers;

svnCheck(
                        svn_client_update2(
                        &pRetrievedRevisionNumbers,
                        pPathsToUpdate,
                        &revision,
                        true, //recurse
                        false, // ignore_externals
                        mpClientContext,
                        mpMemoryPool
                        )
);

-------------
my notification callback
-------------
void ClSubversion::defaultNotifyFunc(void *baton, const svn_wc_notify_t
*notify, apr_pool_t *pool)
{
        ClSubversion* const pSvn = reinterpret_cast<ClSubversion*>(baton);

        NotifyInfo info;
        info.lockState = (notify->lock_state ==
svn_wc_notify_lock_state_locked) ? true :false;
        info.makeReadOnly = false;
        info.action = (ClSubversion::NotifyAction)notify->action;

        switch (notify->action)
        {
                case svn_wc_notify_skip:
                info.operation = " Skipping a path. " ;
                break;
....

You're going to have to be rather more specific, showing us some
example code that reproduces the problem would be a good start.

Fron your current description I can't see how you would reach that
conclusion. Are you actually using nonrecursive checkouts?
