RE: svn list no working for some working directories

Hi Julian, Karl,
Thank you both for this!
I have aliased svnls to be 'svn ls -r HEAD', so I can run a quick 'ls'
on the repository, without having to update my workspace first, and it
works wonderfully!!

Thanks again!
John

John,

Looking at what your script does, I can see this is just a case of the
default revision for "svn list" being "BASE" and not "HEAD". At the end
of your script, where you do "svn ls" in "wc1", you would find the same
lack of visibility in "wc" (because BASE rev of "." is still 1 though
BASE rev of the file that was committed is 2):

]]]

In both wc and wc1, if you "svn update" first you'll see "svn ls" will
then show the newly added dir.
