Hi! I have just started using the Subversion client 1.7.5 (I used 1.6.17 previously). To be able to use my old working copies I had to do a "svnupgrade". But after the upgrade, the svn:externals are no longer fully recognized. The "svn status" command no longer "recurses into sub-projects" the way it used to. The difference can be seen by:
----------------------------- $ svn status proj1 X proj1/proj2-subdir $ $ svn status proj1-new X proj1-new/proj2-subdir Performing status on external item at 'proj1-new/proj2-subdir': ----------------------------- "proj1" is the old working copy with "svn upgrade" applied. "proj1-new" is a fresh checkout of the project with the new client version. I have looked around in the ".svn" directory of the projects and found a difference that perhaps explains the difference i behaviour: ----------------------------- $ sqlite3 proj1/.svn/wc.db 'select * from EXTERNALS order by local_relpath' 1|proj2-subdir||1|normal|unknown|||| $ $ sqlite3 proj1-new/.svn/wc.db 'select * from EXTERNALS order by local_relpath' 1|proj2-subdir||1|normal|dir||proj2|| ----------------------------- Note that the upgraded working copy has the externals entry marked "unknown". Is what I describe here a known problem of the "svn upgrade" command? I also wonder if there is some way to get my existing working copies fully functional again without doing a new checkout. /Johan Holmberg
