RE: mod_dav_svn WC auto-update ... bug?

Sure. Please keep in mind that each "config" results in different results, hence the source of confusion. Here's a chart of what happens; 2 examples are below.

[chart]
                WebDAV (DAV on) WebDAV+SVN (DAV svn)
                --------------- --------------------
  WC Updated? Yes No
  Repo Updated? No Yes

[/chart]

Now my issue is quite straight-forward. It appears that adding "Autoversioning" to a webdav-accessible working copy does not actually update the working copy.

[example of WebDAV Only]
  1. I have a working copy at "d:\htdocs\webdav\" of a Repository.
  2. I make the directory WebDAV-accessible via Apache2 + mod_dav.
  3. I WebDAV-update a file.
  4. The working copy file is up-to-date.
  5. The SVN Repository is not changed (obviously, bc Autoversioning is off).
[/example]

[example of WebDAV, SVN, Autoversioning]
  1. I have a working copy at "d:\htdocs\webdav\" of a Repository.
  2. I make the directory WebDAV-accessible via Apache2 + mod_dav_svn.
  3. I WebDAV-update a file.
  4. The working copy file is *not* up-to-date.
  5. The SVN Repository *is* changed (bc Autoversioning is ON).
[/example]

... Am I the only person to experience this? Is there a way to have the working copy _share_ updates with SVNAutoversioning so *both* WC + Repo are updated simultaneously?

... Or, can an HTTP site directly reflect a Repo w/o actually checking out the site? This would allow realtime autoversioning AND web-browser viewing of just-checked-in content.

I hope that helps clarify my questions. Thank you.

I honestly don't understand.. What do you mean by "auto-update"?
You've given us a description of two different server configurations, but I can't decipher what commands you're running and what results you're seeing. Can you try re-explaining in a different way, being as specific as possible?
