If I delete that file and do svn update, it just comes back. This is the part that has me most confused because the directory does not have any svn:externals properties on it (but it used to). When I do an update, what directs the svn client to pull the external file? It has to be something in the .svn directory, right? > If you do not have any local changes in wc then you may delete wc as a > whole and let svn up recreate it. > Yes, this is ultimately what I'm going to have to do. Unfortunately, this has happened more than once and I'd really like to understand what's going on. Cory
