Hello everyone, In an attempt to work around the slow performance issues with externals, I'm trying to perform selective updates on external files without performing an "svn update --depth infinity".
If I update the path on an external for foo.c to be from /bar1/ to /bar2/, and commit the property change, I'd hope that an "svn update foo.c" would result in foo.c being changed from /bar1/ to /bar2/, but it gets deleted instead. I understand why foo.c gets deleted (/bar1/foo.c is different pedigree than /bar2/foo.c despite the same file name), but would really hope to perform an "svn update foo.c" to get the latest version referenced by the svn:externals. How can I get svn to fetch me the file referenced in svn:externals without performing an "svn update --depth infinity"? Remind me again why externals are only processed when depth is infinity? Thanks! Dan
