Hi,
>From the #svn channel just a few minutes ago.
The error message clearly is not that helpful for normal users. Should I file
an issue for that?
09:45 < stummi> hi there. I set an external. (svn propedit svn:externals . on
the root of the working copy, with the Entry "Extern
svn://svnserver/externrepo"). the extern directory "Extern" is on version
control. But svn update says "cannot relocate '.../mainrepo/Extern' as it is
not the root of a working copy; try relocating '.../mainrepo' instead
09:46 < stummi> what does externals have to do with relocate? Or why does svn
think i want to relocate anything?
09:47 < stummi> svn version: svn, Version 1.7.5 (r1336830)
09:47 < stummi> from the debian repository
10:13 < schabi> stummi: Was the "Extern" directory versioned (existing in the
working copy) before you added the esternals definition?
10:13 < stummi> yes
10:13 < schabi> Then that is the problem. Externals are implemented via
"nested" working copies (having their own .svn dubdirectory)currently.
10:13 < stummi> schabi, i just got fixed it in this moment. Didn't know the the
directory should not exist for an external
10:14 < schabi> But the error message could be improved in that case...
10:14 < stummi> yeah, it is a bit confusing
Best regards
Markus Schaber
