I have forwarded the complaint about svn cat to the SVN mailing list.
Renaming a folder (containing files) in the repository still seems to create
all sorts of problems.
If I relocate my original Fred WC to the new repository location, I get all
sorts of trouble, so I have given up on that route.
If I checkout a fresh WC and try to update the folder to rev 2 I get the
cryptic message 'Cannot replace a directory from within'. If I try to update
the individual file (test.c) to rev 2, it claims to have worked, but has
actually deleted the file in the WC.
Update folder to HEAD is OK though.
Because this renaming is potentially destructive, is it worth adding a
warning dialog to the folder rename (in explorer and repo-browser) until SVN
dev sorts out the remaining problems?
Simon.
