I have working copy in which some files and directories missed: present on server but absent locally. Update, revert doesn't restore them. Also it doesn't look like sparse. Problem was resolved via clean checkout, so I only report about it and not look for solution.

But eventually downloaded when it was specified explicitly. I can't say, how it was reached, because it is not my working copy. I observe next hustle actions: 0. Working copy was bind to already deleted branch. Working copy has local modifications Some solutions from wc was opened in Visual Studio (with addin VisualSVN) 1. Try switch wc root to ^/trunk with TortoiseSVN. Abort in the middle. Cleanup. 2. Try switch wc/solution1 to ^/trunk/solution1 with TortoiseSVN. (I recall that svn start delete many files and folders, but not sure). Abort in the middle. Cleanup. 3. Try exclude(sparse wc) some solutions from wc with TortoiseSVN. Not sure if it was started at all. May be also aborted. This was performed with TortoiseSVN linked with subversion: svn, version 1.7.2 (r1207936) compiled Dec 6 2011, 16:02:36 4. Then I start analyze working copy. I upgrade WC to 1.8, problem preserved. All tests above was executed with 1.8 svn, version 1.8.0 (r1490375) compiled Jun 18 2013, 13:38:49 on x86/x86_64-microsoft-windows6.1.7601 5. Do not digg in depth, but seems wc.db no not hold references to (for example) App_Themes in table NODES Ask me for details.
