Toby,
Thanks for the explanations. They helped a lot.
You mentioned that - All those "44"s in your printout indicate that
the "working revision" of
those files is 44. You must have either just checked out the WC, or
recently did an "svn update" to version 44."
And this is true, I did an svn update, but what could have caused this
branch to be at 44,
since all it's local revisions are less than 44?
For you information, this is a "branch" not the trunk. Could it be
that the trunk is at 44? and so this branch also is at 44? Any other
reason as to why this could happen?
It cannot be another person working on this branch, otherwise one of
this files would also be at 44, correct?
Thanks again
roberto
