Hi, I've noticed some differing behavior when using file externals and svn info -r committed. I'm not sure what the expected behavior should be... hoping to see what the masses think. I'm running svn 1.8.13 on Windows 7.
When I first create a file external and perform an update, the "svn info -r committed foo.c" provides a response. After an additional update, with no changes to the working copy (or repo), the "svn info -r committed foo.c" gives an error of 'foo.c' has no committed revision. It appears the update which adds the external creates a different state then the updating of an already file external. I'm fine with the behavior, but curious about about why and perhaps there could be other latent issues. Thanks, Dan Here's a simple batch file to reproduce: svnadmin create c:\project_files\test_repo svn checkout file:///c:/project_files/test_repo c:\project_files\test_wc cd c:\project_files\test_wc echo test > foo.c svn add foo.c svn commit foo.c -m "test commit" svn update svn ps svn:externals "foo_external.c file:///c:/project_files/test_repo/foo.c" . svn update svn info -r committed foo_external.c rem This works svn update svn info -r committed foo_external.c rem This does not And a snippet of the output.... c:\Project_files\test_wc>svn ps svn:externals "foo_external.c file:///c:/project_files/test_repo/foo.c" . property 'svn:externals' set on '.' ***** First update does the add and appears to allow an info request ***** c:\Project_files\test_wc>svn update Updating '.': Fetching external item into 'foo_external.c': A foo_external.c Updated external to revision 1.
