RE: [BUG] svn update produces unexpected result

The last change revision is documented to be the last revision in which that
node changed.

The revision number in Subversion is global for the repository, so not
changing every file in every revision is 100% expected behavior. And this is
the reason we show these different revisions.

See the Subversion documentation for the fine details. (E.g.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com )

The help from --revision shows that we have even more interesting revisions
tied to a file:

-r [--revision] ARG : ARG (some commands also take ARG1:ARG2 range)

                             A revision argument can be one of:

                                NUMBER revision number

                                '{' DATE '}' revision at start of the date

                                'HEAD' latest in repository

                                'BASE' base rev of item's working copy

                                'COMMITTED' last commit at or before BASE

                                'PREV' revision just before COMMITTED

Subject: [BUG] svn update produces unexpected result

Hi,

When using svn update on a file with -r flag from one revision to another
where the content of the file at both revisions are identical, the last
commit of result file appears to be out of sync.

Example:

Foo.txt have identical content at r100 and r200

Foo.txt is at base revision r100

svn update Foo.txt -r200

svn status Foo.txt -v --xml

Expected:

                base revision === last commit revision === 200

Actual:

                base revision === 200 !== last commit revision === 100

Best Regards,
