Re: BUG in svn switch with A+ files

Hi !

This is not a bug. After the copy, the WC still points to the
original location, and still has the original modifications. You'd
have to revert, remove unknown files, and then switch.

I know what you want to achieve: svn should notice that both files
are "the same". Except, they aren't. If you create the file, copy,
then change the file again, what should Subversion do ? Replace your
local mods ? That's a no. Subversion is very careful about never
losing the user's data.

Hope that helps.
