Hi, I used to be able to do: svn checkout --depth=empty svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages cd packages svn up pacman rm -r pacman svn up
and it would leave me with an empty, working copy on my computer in subversion 1.6.17 When I upgraded to subversion 1.7.2, after doing the same set of commands as described above, the last svn up brings back the pacman folder into the working copy. So far, I haven't been able to find any documented proof that this is an intentional change. Finally, when I run: svn up --set-depth exclude pacman This works as expected. So my question is, am I experiencing a regression? Or is this new, intended behavior with subversion 1.7? Thanks for your time!
