Hi,
I cant see any of the errors you mention in the mail in the log files you posted here. The log files are full of messages around working copies that already exist and then mention that you have a UUID mismatch because a working copy already exists where you tried to checkout and perform operations. It looks like you forgot to clean the directory before running the script again. On 1.8.5 / FreeBSD I get the following from running your script.sh [[ svn, version 1.8.5 (r1542147) compiled Feb 1 2014, 23:11:14 on i386-portbld-freebsd10.0 Copyright (C) 2013 The Apache Software Foundation.

(In most cases it is easier to embed $cwd in your script than hardcoding /tmp.

Februar 2014 17:19 An: users@subversion.apache.org <mailto:users@subversion.apache.org> Cc: Frohner, Helmut (AMOS Austria GmbH); Graf, Andrea (AMOS Austria GmbH) Betreff: svn switch will not update ../ externals hi! i found problems with the switch command and svn externats; at least for ../ type of externals and files switch behaves as if --ignore-externals was given. Is there a way to get the externals switched too? in 1.7 it worked. I want switch to give the same output as a fresh checkout, not different or corrupting the wc. my problem: due to lack of symlinks under certain poerating systems a lot of files are "linked" my externals - e.g. messages_de.properties is the actual file, messages.properties an external to ../<directory>/messages_de.properties example to reproduce see attachments for windooze and linux. both create a repository and do the same (using file:/// url <file:///\\%20url> for convenience) for output see <testrun>.log have a look at these lines: (the relative URL in 1.8 is wrong (line does not exist in 1.7) - it should be ../somedir/messages_de.properties!) URL: file:///C:/Temp/svnbug/bugrepos/tags/1.1/somedir/messages_de.properties <file:///C:\Temp\svnbug\bugrepos\tags\1.1\somedir\messages_de.properties> URL: file:///tmp/bugrepos/tags/1.0/somedir/messages_de.properties <file:///\\tmp\bugrepos\tags\1.0\somedir\messages_de.properties> Relative URL: ^/tags/1.0/somedir/messages_de.properties linux; svn, version 1.8.5 (r1542147) not OK, still tags/1.0 in external if created fresh with svn checkout file:///tmp/bugrepos/tags/1.1 <file:///\\tmp\bugrepos\tags\1.1> clientcheckout external is OK. linux; svn, version 1.6.3 (r38063) and svn, version 1.6.6 (r40053) not OK - but not surprising; ..-urls were not there then. windooze, svn, version 1.7.13 (r1516569) OK server 1.8 linux, clients 1.7 not ok, switch (other repository) leads to: Fetching external item into 'C:\dev\eclipseworkspaces\abscorerealisierungsnapshot_svn_abscore\at.allianz .gfb.core.vertrag.gui\src\at\allianz\gfb\core\vertrag\gui\messages_de.proper ties': svn: warning: W200014: Base checksum mismatch for 'C:\dev\eclipseworkspaces\abscorerealisierungsnapshot_svn_abscore\at.allianz .gfb.core.vertrag.gui\src\at\allianz\gfb\core\vertrag\gui\messages_de.proper ties': expected: a7f6342071c05381df72ae374f613769 actual: 8d5471159a251008f1d18934989c867a Fetching external item into 'C:\dev\eclipseworkspaces\abscorerealisierungsnapshot_svn_abscore\at.allianz .gfb.core.vertrag.gui\src\at\allianz\gfb\core\vertrag\gui\beteiligungen\dial og\messages_de.properties': Updated external to revision 31794.
