Re: Subversion update error

I was just doing a normal update on a working copy using TortoiseSVN.
The WC contains several folders and some of them have subfolders that are
svn:externals. Everything (including the externals) are located in the
same repository.

Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce the error. After closing the
error dialog I tried updating again and this time it worked.

Now I see that a couple of the externals are using an absolute local path
and they are pointing to a location that doesn't exist on my computer.
Also, the externals property was not set on the parent folder where the
external folder were to be checked out, but on the "grand parent" folder.
Obviously this is not correct, I will change it to use a relative local
path (i.e. only a folder name) and set the external property on the parent
folder instead.

Example of the problem. The following WC structure exists:
C:\wc
C:\wc\VersionedFolder\ExternalFolder

In this example the svn:externals property would be set on the 'C:\wc'
folder and the property would be set to checkout head revision from URL
'svn://server/repoName' to
'C:\NonExistingFolder\VersionedFolder\ExternalFolder'

I hope you understand my example.

Your reply to me didn't include users_at_subversion.apache.org.
