> When attempting to use Continuum I kept having problems where Continuum would
> checkout the project fine, but always fail to update it on subsequent builds.
> Continuum forces you to specify a scmTagBase as well as a scmTag for
> subversion projects. The problem is that is passes the tag to the scm update
> which ends up issuing a svn command with -r tagname
> Example:
> checkout command:
> svn --non-interactive checkout
> http://svn/projects/dmi-jdbc/branches/my-branch-name 6
> update command
> svn --non-interactive update -r branches/my-branch-name
> This probably works fine in cvs because a tag can refer to a revision or tag.
> In subversion, tags and revisions are obviously very different so the
> SvnUpdateCommand should handle the two cases differently if you are
> requesting a revision or an actual tag.
> I've created a patch which corrects the problem and causes SvnUpdateCommand
> to perform a switch to update whenever a non revision tag is specified. I
> believe this will produce the intended results, but I am also fairly new to
> subversion and its possible it doesn't.
> Please let me know if you need more information.
