Greetings! I have a scenario where I can't update a working copy while an update on an unrelated other working copy is in progress. The directory structure looks like this:
projects/ foo foo-test-1 * foo-test-2 * lib_bar Now, what makes this special is that in the repository, the marked foo-test directories don't exist. These directories are just file-system copies of foo which I made in order to do some tests while keeping the relation to lib_bar. Theoretically, they should be independent roots of separate WCs, right? However, while running update on either foo-test, it seems that the projects root dir is locked, so I can't update the rest. However, I can update both foo-test WCs in parallel. Also, I wonder how the new 1.7 WC format will affect me here. As far as I know, the metadata is stored in just the root folder of the working copy there, which means that a file-system copy of a subdir is not a working copy on its own, which means I can't achieve the above by using a file-system copy but have to do a separate checkout of the subdirectory, rigth? I also thought about using a local never-committed copy, which I would then switch back to the original dir: svn cp foo foo-test svn switch $(REPOS)/projects/foo foo-test This should even allow me to update all my folders by issuing an update on the projects root folder. Well, at least it could, I don't know if it works, I'm not even sure it should work. Cheers!
