Hi everyone, here is an issue I encountered with svn client 1.7.0
We at work are currently working with server/client 1.6.5 on Fedora 10 I tried svn client 1.7.0 and immediatly run into following erroneous behaviour. Easy to reproduce. Let's say we have a working copy of 'A' set up using svn 1.6.5, with a file named 'file.a' : /svn/1.6.5/A/file.a and a working copy of 'B' originally set up using svn 1.6.5, with a soft link referencing with absolute reference to 'file.a': /svn/1.6.5/B/some_link => /svn/1.6.5/A/file.a That's working OK. Then try to checkout 'B' with svn 1.7.0 : /svn/1.7.0/B/some_link => /svn/1.6.5/A/file.a Checkout still goes well. The just do : svn st And it should show following error message : svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command svn: E155036: Working copy '/svn/1.7.0/B/some_link' is too old (format 10, created by Subversion 1.6) This is clearly an error since my copy has been created using svn 1.7.0 . "svn" seems to be fooled by the link, as the svn status of file is the status of file linked and not the status of the link itself. I hope this will be of any help.
