Hi SVN users,
I searched for this problem in the open issues but could not find a similar
problem.
Can you help me to find out if this is a known problem/bug?
I have a repository with a few svn:externals. Some of them point to a specific
revision (e.g. trunk@8) of their repository.
When I look up with "svn status -u" if I have to do an update SVN shows me
files out of this external repositories which should be reputedly newer on the
server.
The problem is that the external repository has newer revisions with a newer
version of this file but this should not play a role for my repository (because
of the trunk@8).
Example extract of the console output:
----------
C:\WORKSPACE\SVN>svn propget svn:externals
file://???/SW/trunk@8 SW
C:\WORKSPACE\SVN>svn status -u
X SW
Status against revision: 117
Performing status on external item at 'SW':
* 8 C:\WORKSPACE\SVN\SW\Code.c
Status against revision: 13
----------
I looked in the source code and tried to find the reason for this behaviour.
I think that the problem is in status-cmd.c svn_cl__status().
There I found this piece of code which may cause this problem:
/* We want our -u statuses to be against HEAD. */
rev.kind = svn_opt_revision_head;
In my opinion in the case of external repository with fixed revision the check
should be performed against this revision?
A similar problem exists if I do an update on a subfolder (one which is added
by svn:externals and points to a specific revision) of my repository then the
HEAD revision of this folder is checked out.
If needed I can try to do a repro-template.bat.
Normally I work with TortoiseSVN and SVN Notifier but because of the problem I
tried to reproduce it on the command line.
Windows 7 - Subversion 1.7.9
