HI, Ive identified what i believe is a bug in svn 1.7. Ive used svn 1.6 extensively and never remember observing this behaviour.
1. i have a full checkout of a repository. 2. i want to do an update of a folder but not the sub-folders. I use the commnand svn up --depth immediates 3. what i see is contents of sub- folders updating. > svn info Path: . Working Copy Root Path: /scratch-disk4/derek.wallace/IVX8000_trunk_FPGA_1 URL: svn://dubsvn1/inx8000-cr1-fpga/ivx8000/trunk/trunk/data Repository Root: svn://dubsvn1/inx8000-cr1-fpga Repository UUID: baad5aac-ed56-0410-b601-f48d8304e233 Revision: 261102 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: derek.wallace Last Changed Rev: 261102 Last Changed Date: 2012-07-06 16:35:34 +0100 (Fri, 06 Jul 2012) > svn up --depth immediates Updating '.': At revision 261102. > edit and commit file in a sub folder. > svn up --depth immediates Updating '.': U fpgaflow_lib/mcm_example2/del.wal Updated to revision 261103. I did NOT expect the above file to appear i.e. i expected on fils in the current folder to appear or a new folder (but not its contents). Can anyone 1. confirm that svn up --depth immediates should ONLY checkout new files at current level 2. that this does indeed look like a bug in svn 1.7 SVN Client 1.7.4 OS : RHL SVN Server 1.6.18 As an experiment i went back to svn 1.6 and an old working copy. 1. made a change to a file below the current folder. 2. svn up --depth immediates . At revision 131253. As i expected the updated file did not appear. 3. svn up . U mcm_test/ReleaseNotes.txt Updated to revision 131253. As expected the file now appears.
