Hello list,
I encountered an error which I don't know how to resolve.
It looks like a bug to me but I am not sure if I am missing something.
I searched the archive and found this recent report which is somewhat
similar to my current problem, but there was no solution:
http://svn.haxx.se/tsvnusers/archive-2012-03/0042.shtml
Here's my setup:
The client is on Windows 7 using the latest svn 1.7.4.
The server is rather outdated with svn 1.4.3 on CentOS 4.3, but as I
understand it, externals are a pure client-side feature.
I have an existing repository containing a file external (relative path
to the same repository).
The initial checkout of the working copy is working fine.
Trying to update the working copy afterwards yields the error you find
below.
Like the other user reporting the problem, everything seems to work
fine, despite the error message...
Please tell me if I am making an obvious mistake.
Otherwise how can I help to diagnose this problem further?
I tried coming up with a simple repro-script but there it worked, of
course...
Thank you and best regards
Stefan
