Hi
I am not subscribed to the mailing list. Please CC me on any replies to this mail.
I am having trouble with the svn copy command. I am running RedHat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.3 and svn version 1.6.1 (r934486).
I use the svn copy to create a tag based on a working copy, including any changes in externals.
(I know that there should not be any changes in the externals, but it is very important for me that the tag is an accurate copy of the working copy)
I create a list of the externals, and if they are not locked to a specific revision, I use svn copy to create a tag of the external.
This works fine for directory externals, but for file externals it fails silently.
Attempting the same command for a file which is not an external works fine.
Is this a known bug or feature in Subversion?
More details:
In my Sandbox I have got a number of files in a directory. One of these, SKernConstants_pck.vhd, is an external file.
The other files are not externals.

Committed revision 13543.
External file: Copy fails silently
% svn copy config/hdl/SKernConstants_pck.vhd svn://XXXX/SKern/tags/Saft_01_0041/config/hdl/SKernConstants_pck.vhd -m "Debug tagBuild with single files as externals" --parents

I have done some tests using strace and diffed these two. The attached images show that
Stracediff1: Sadm run prints a message before exiting
Stracediff2: SKernConstants run stops after the first two lstats.
