Weird Behaviour: Files reverted that didn't show up in a status --no-ignore

We are running VisualSVN 1.9.3 server on a Windows box and a user's workspace is on a Centos6.5 Linux box.He had just done a "svn update" and the build failed.  No conflicts as far as I can tell.  The "svn status" showed the build artifacts and his modified files.  As a suggestion, he would "svn

What's the process when converting a directory to use svn:externals?

Server 1.9.3 (Windows) and client 1.8.15(Linux-Centos6.5) We are in the mist of refactoring our directory structure from the monolithic (Clearcase imported) directory structure to moving subdirectories to new repositories and using svn:externals with pegged versions back into the primary product

Johan, thanks for the insights/efforts. Sorry about html --- damm Yahoo mail. It is possible that these files were chmod'd but I can't confirm now.  It is good to know that changing file permissions won't be detected by a "svn status" but will get reverted.  I've got 100+ exClearcase designers th

As the subject line states I want access control to prevent the creation of files and directories at a certain directory level and above.  Below that point, the general population can make whatever changes they deem fit.  Another requirement I have is to always merge from the top level but that

Yes, these externals are deliberately pegged and I have other working copies(WC) based on the exact same checkout and they show up as a single and not a mixed revision WC. Of the 108 WCs I've looked at, 36 are in a mixed-revision configuration and that's OK but in several cases, these WCs cannot

As an amendment, I created one more WC with my 1.8.16 svn client at the original XXX revision. (i.e. prior to the directory deletion and subsequent addition of the svn:externals).  I then updated the client to 1.9.4 and ran the 'svn update' where it successfully deleted the directory and then ad
