Dear all, using svn 1.8.11 changing an existing svn:externals property to a sub-directory thereof will result in an "... is not a working copy root" (combination of W200000, W155007 and E205011). The attached sequence of commands [1] will reproduce the behavior from scratch (Windows batch syntax).
The final svn update will result in the attached output [2]. Is this regular behavior of svn or is this a bug related to the processing of svn:externals? I would expect that changing the value of svn:externals from something valid to something else valid should be handled by svn. Thanks and best regards, Christian [1] svnadmin create repo svn co file:///%CD%/repo wc mkdir wc\foo mkdir wc\ext mkdir wc\ext\subdir svn add wc\foo svn add wc\ext svn ci -m "" wc svn ps svn:externals "^/ext ext" wc\foo svn ci -m "" wc svn up wc svn ps svn:externals "^/ext/subdir ext/subdir" wc\foo svn ci -m "" wc svn up wc [2] Updating 'wc': Fetching external item into 'wc\foo\ext\subdir': External at revision 3. svn: warning: W200000: Error handling externals definition for 'wc\foo\ext\subdir': svn: warning: W155007: 'C:\Temp\wc\foo\ext\subdir' is not a working copy root Removed external 'wc\foo\ext' Updated to revision 3. svn: E205011: Failure occurred processing one or more externals definitions
