RE: Externals not populating

I tried both, neither with success.

From the Windows command line:
First I deleted an item out of an externals directory.
I did "svn up" at the working copy root with no success.
I then cd'd into the target directory and did svn up again without
success.
I cannot remember whether I tried svn up from the directory with the
svn:externals attribute.

I then removed the entire directory and ran svn up from the root, still
no success.

I use a mix of command line and tortoise with my working copies.
I had recently updated tortoise to 1.6.0, then updated my cmd line tools
to svn-win32-1.6.0.
I have not had the problem since I did a fresh co to a new working copy.
Is it possible that either the new tortoise or the new cmd line tools
corrupted the working copy metadata?
I don't know if there were any changes to the working copy metadata
format, but it seems likely...

Did you delete an entire external directory, or just an item inside a
directory which is an external? I would have expected "svn up" in any
parent directory to restore an entire deleted external. But if you
delete an item inside a directory which is an external, you probably
have to run "svn up" on the external directory itself, not on one of
its parents.
