Hi, Thank you for the quick reply.
Strange thing. I was expecting that the repository will notify me only about the items/revisions/changes I am missing. If the update of the file was successful, then when "svn status -u folder", the repository should report that only the folder has changes (it was replaced), but the file is already updated. Somehow, this can be misleading, even more if users are not very SVN-experimented.

Subversion: 1.8.x, 1.7.x. The situation is as follows (the minimum necessary to reproduce the issue): - have a working copy with a folder and a file inside the folder; - replace the folder and commit: svn delete folder/file svn delete --keep-local folder svn add folder (consider it as a new folder) svn commit folder (both folder and file) make new "file" inside folder svn add folder/file svn commit folder/file - now, in another working copy: svn status -u - reports folder as replaced and file as deleted svn update folder/file - svn indicates that file was updated fine svn statsus -u - again, both folder and file are reported as previously (replaced and deleted) Repeating the file update and "svn status" goes on and on as file updated correctly and file reported as deleted again. Only after updating the folder everything works fine. My question(s): - is this OK to happen like this?Yes, absolutely. The 'svn update folder/file' step creates a mixed-revision working copy (child is newer than its parent) and you then query the parent with 'status -u' so you get results for the parent, not the child.
