I have just started to use the svn:externals keyword. I am checking out a svn folder to Windows desktop, but have set the svn:externals property on this folder to check out a lib at C:/lib:
svn:externals <repo-path-for-lib> C:/lib The lib is a svn repository containing only binary files and no folders. When I check out/update (the folder with the property set) and the lib is not present, everything gets checked out as expected but get the following error: External failed: C:\lib Error: In file Error: 'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.7.2\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_wc\wc_db.c' Error: line 2890: assertion failed (svn_dirent_is_ancestor(wcroot->abspath, Error: local_abspath)) Regards PCoulson Paul Coulson Software Engineer Senscient Tel: 01202 606473 Mob: 07963 114556 pcoul...@senscient.com
