Interesting. So copying a mixed revision WC should work, but it
doesn't.

Getting back to my problem, of trying to copy a WC, I wrote the
following bash shell script. The idea is for it to work correctly with
WCs that are not *intentionally* mixed-revision, and fail gracefully
in all other cases.

  is_update_trivial() {
    return 0
  }
  
  if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
    echo "Usage is: $(basename $0) <URL>" 1>&2
    exit 1
  fi
  
  rr=$(svnversion . | grep '^[0-9]\+\(:[0-9]\+\)\?[MS]\?$')
  [ -z "$rr" ] && { echo "Cannot determine WC rev" 1>&2; exit 1; }
  rmin=$(echo $rr | cut -d: -f1 | sed 's/^\([0-9]\+\)[MS]\?$/\1/')
  rmax=$(echo $rr | cut -d: -f2 | sed 's/^\([0-9]\+\)[MS]\?$/\1/')
  
  if [ x"$rmin" != x"$rmax" ]; then
    echo "Mixed revisions WC"
    if is_update_trivial $rmax; then
      echo "Bringing WC forward to r$rmax"
      svn --non-interactive --quiet up -r $rmax .
    else
      echo "WC not up to date! Up it and call again." 1>&2
      exit 1
    fi
  fi
  
  svn --non-interactive --quiet cp . "$2"

As you can see what is missing is the implementation of the
"is_update_trivial()" function, which is something I can't figure out
how to approach. The "is_update_trivial()" function must answer the
following question:

   "will an update of the WC to revision $rmax modify any files?"

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
