I had sent this straight to Jeremy and forgot to cc the list.
Asvn can't operate on an exported working copy for the simple reason
there are not property files left after the export. asvn is a pre and
post processor. During a checking it does a preprocess comparing all the
files and their permissions against the file:permissions property and
updates the property when different. During an update/switch/co it does
a post process where the permissions are again checked but the file is
updated if there is a difference.
svn itself doesn't handle these properties so hence an export does
nothing. Instead of using export use the normal checkout. Personally
(and I wrote asvn) I would recommend a normal svn update then do an asvn
update. The only reason is asvn is a little verbose at the moment and I
think it is better to know that the wc is up todate before processing.
You should also be aware that asvn assumes that every file/directory in
the wc is under svn control. There will be error messages if you have
used svn:ignore to skip some. Its on the todo list to fix.
