Hello, on one of our development servers we have a special setup with folders for different customers, one reference folder with codebase of a web application and the contents of the customer folders are linked symbolically to the reference folder. The reason was to be able to test customers themes etc. with current code base by beeing able to commit little changes to files without the need to explicitly merge. This setup worked pretty fine in Subversion 1.6 and before, but doesn't seem to work now. When I do a svn status in a customer folder every linked file is shown with a ~ and not just those files which contents were changed against the own base of the customer folder. Commits are not possible because of error E145001, saying something about the special status of the file has changed unexpectadly. The error message is presented in german language only.
Is there any possibility to be able to get the old behaviour back? I don't want Subversion in this case to recognize that a file was replaced with a symbolic link, but use the link fully transparent and only consider the contents of a file. An example of my folders: reference_folder - fileA - fileB customer1 - fileA -> reference_folder/fileA - fileB -> reference_folder/fileB The links were created with link -s. If I change reference_folder/fileA and visit customer1/fileA in vi, I see the changed contents, but svn status customer1/file A prints ~ and the file can't be committed, too.
