Re: Error processing externals E205011 and W155035 with simple update

Hi Johan,

I'll try and use the reproduction template, but will need to work this on
Monday as it appears I'll need to work the template a bit to work with
http://.

Here's the quick recipe....

Create a file external in svn:externals and commit it and perform full
update (foo.c rev 1).
Create a new revision of the file and commit (foo.c rev 2)
Edit the svn:externals to point to latest revision (foo.c rev 2)

Now here's the magic to reproduce the issue:
;:
Only perform an "svn update . -depth empty --ignore-externals" // this
should bring in the new svn:externals property with foo.c rev 2
Only update the file as "svn update foo.c"

This should now show the file as being switched with an "svn status -v
foo.c":

Performing a full "svn update" will cause the errors and seem to put the
WC into a bad state.

A full output of the command prompt is in the listing below.

I appreciate the help!

Dan

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.
