[Fwd: Problem with svn up --set-depth?]

Hello,
I sent this potential bug report to the users mailing list some time ago but it was never addressed. It is still reproducible with svn 1.6.3.

Thanks,
Alfonso.

Hello,
I have run into the following problem, which seems like a subversion bug:

(With svn 1.6.2)

Create a repo:
cd /blah
svnadmin create test
svn mkdir file:///blah/test/trunk -m "Create folder"
svn co file:///blah/test/trunk

Add some folders and files:
cd trunk
svn mkdir f1
svn mkdir f2
svn commit -m "Add some folders"

Exclude a folder
svn up --set-depth=exclude f2

Now, neither svn info nor svnversion report that this is a sparse checkout, yet doing svn up will never pull f2 again (unles you svn up --set-depth infinity).

Thanks,
Alfonso.
