Hi,
I've found that when 'svn checkout' is run on a pre-existing working
copy it acts just like 'svn update'[1]. My checking of --help,
googling, and svnbook perusal all could not find any information about this.
Is this documented somewhere? Is there any difference between a
checkout on a pre-existing WC and an update, besides the fact that
checkout requires an explicit URL? (The reason I care is that if this
is proper, supported behaviour then in the context of our ant scripts
only one simple "checkout" target is needed which will either checkout
or update, depending on the state of the build tree.)
Thanks for any pointers,
-Nathan
