Daniel Shahaf commented on SVN-4876:
------------------------------------
1. I've already asked you once: Do not make up your own terminology. A working
copy is not a repository.
2. The error message doesn't match the prose just above it.
3. Regarding the first of your two use-cases, when we take the rare step of
gating a previously-default behind a --flag, which is a form of backwards
incompatibility, we generally have good reasons to do so. Proposing that we
make that flag the default because you need it in one use-case without even
considering counter-arguments is not a productive approach to collaborative
design.
4. «svn switch» does not work across repositories (and bear in mind that when I
say "repository" I mean repository), so the proposed "solution" won't work for
the second case at all.
5. Per project policy, do not open issues without blessing from a project
committer.
As far as the cross-repository case is concerned, this issue should be closed
as invalid.
As far as the intra-repository case is concerned, in light of the fact that you
have opened this issue after I asked you on users@ to justify adding this flag
and in this issue you did not provide such justification but simply repeated
yourself, I regrettably determine that you are spamming us. I am therefore
closing this issue and directing you to continue discussion on users@ per
project policy.

> Key: SVN-4876
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4876
> Project: Subversion
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: svnpubsub
> Environment: Scenario:
> Start with:
> /www/svn.apache.org: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/svn/site
> Checks out fine
> Change the site so it is now located here:
> /www/svn.apache.org: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/svn/site/publish
> svnwcsub.py fails with:
> svn: E195012: 'https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/sites/lsvn/site/publish'
> shares no common ancestry with '/www/svn.apache.org'\n"
> A similar issue occurs with changing up a level, e.g. from site/publish to
> site.
> The solution is to add --ignore-ancestry to the svn switch command.
> This should either be the default, or at least it should be possible to
> enable it via a command-line flag or configuration option.
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Major
