[Subclipse-users] Re: Switching the branch of a subfolder does not take effect until the parent folder is manually updated.

From: John Shields <jshields_at_mechanicnet.com>

Sorry for replying to my own email, I forgot to subscribe to the list
before posting so I didn't get Mark's reply...

One important detail I forgot to mention is that I'm using the SVNKit
library. So the problem could certainly be in there, but nevertheless
the problem does occur in my environment as I described. Following is
the commit log from a contrived example I created. I've also included
the SVN console from eclipse. Note that there is some sort of problem
occurring as well.

The big thing to notice is the eclipse console output is the switch
command followed by the commit that creates r2462. Then if you look at
r2462 in the SVN log you can clearly see that it went to the "mainline".
Now the saving grace is that after the initial switch the GUI did NOT
update to reflect the switched status of the "child" folder. So the
result (committing to the "mainline") was consistent with the GUI (the
folder decorator indicated the folder was NOT switched). Likewise, if I
do the switch and then immediately perform an update on the "parent"
folder then the folder decorator does reflect the switch AND the commit
goes properly to the branch. So the GUI is properly reflecting the
behavior. Again, the problem is that I must do a manual update on the
parent folder to get the switch command to "take effect".

So my uninformed guess is that if a folder is switched relative to it's
parent folder, then the parent folder also needs an SVN update to get
the working copy into the proper state. This could very well be a bug in
SVNKit.

Thanks for the help!

Regards,
John
