Re: SVN update of child ignores files if preceded by update --depth immediates

That's exactly the problem. In SVN 1.6 I was able to run concurrent SVN
updates on different directories. Their separate databases were updateable
separately. In 1.7, this is no longer possible.

I would be happy to revert our application to using SVN 1.6, except that
1.6 has a problem, as explained at the root of this thread. The original
resolution recommended by you guys was to switch to 1.7, but we cannot do
that because of these newly found concurrency issues.

Can we simply fix the original issue in SVN 1.6 instead?
