Re: Error processing externals E205011 and W155035 with simple update

Like I replied to your other post: please give us some more concrete
information about this "known slowness of svn update"?

That said, if you can corrupt your working copy by using a series of
regular svn commands, that's clearly a bug.

Would it be possible for you to write down a reproduction recipe
starting from a clean repository? Or even better: a reproduction
script, for example starting from this template:

  http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/repro-template.bat

That would help a lot in understanding and reproducing the issue.
