RE: Possible bug in svn update flow?

Good Folks,

It looks as if the below scenario may be limited to the Windows client.

I've done testing using our current client, identified as version 1.3.1 (r19032), against 2 linux svnserve builds (1.3.0 and 1.3.1). Both show the same (faulty imo) behaviour indicated below where svn update <file> fails to recreate the file.

However, accessing the same repositories from a v1.3.0 (r17949) linux client gives the expected "Restored 'CspExchangeContext.cpp" response for both the 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 linux server.

Subject: Possible bug in svn update flow?

Folks,

From the following flow (which doesn't show the immediately preceding start in empty dir, svn co of HEAD), it would appear that svn checkout on a single file may not actually physically create the file, not does the svn revert do what I (mayhaps naievely) believe it should have done under the scenario?

D:\cspesignal>del cspexchangecontext.cpp

D:\cspesignal>svn update cspexchangecontext.cpp

At revision 282.

D:\cspesignal>del cspexchangecontext.cpp

Could Not Find D:\cspesignal\cspexchangecontext.cpp

D:\cspesignal>svn revert

revert: Restore pristine working copy file (undo most local edits).

usage: revert PATH...

  Note: this subcommand does not require network access, and resolves

  any conflicted states. However, it does not restore removed directories.

Valid options:

  --targets arg : pass contents of file ARG as additional args

  -R [--recursive] : descend recursively

  -q [--quiet] : print as little as possible

  --config-dir arg : read user configuration files from directory ARG

D:\cspesignal>svn revert .

D:\cspesignal>del cspexchangecontext.cpp

Could Not Find D:\cspesignal\cspexchangecontext.cpp

D:\cspesignal>svn update

Restored 'CspExchangeContext.cpp'
