Hi everyone,
here is an issue I encountered with svn client 1.7.0
We at work are currently working with server/client 1.6.5 on Fedora 10
I tried svn client 1.7.0 and immediatly run into following erroneous behaviour.
Easy to reproduce.
Let's say we have a working copy of 'A' set up using svn 1.6.5, with a file
named 'file.a' :
/svn/1.6.5/A/file.a
and a working copy of 'B' originally set up using svn 1.6.5, with a soft link
referencing with absolute reference to 'file.a':
/svn/1.6.5/B/some_link => /svn/1.6.5/A/file.a
That's working OK.
Then try to checkout 'B' with svn 1.7.0 :
/svn/1.7.0/B/some_link => /svn/1.6.5/A/file.a
Checkout still goes well.
The just do : svn st
And it should show following error message :
svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command
svn: E155036: Working copy '/svn/1.7.0/B/some_link' is too old (format 10,
created by Subversion 1.6)
This is clearly an error since my copy has been created using svn 1.7.0 . "svn"
seems to be fooled by the link, as the svn status of file is the status of file
linked and not the status of the link itself.
I hope this will be of any help.
