Hi Stefan,
Here is the information you requested;
svn status shared;
C shared
> local delete, incoming edit upon merge
svn info shared;
Tree conflict: local delete, incoming edit upon merge
Source left: (dir) http://192.168.10.95/svn/repo/trunk/nz/shared@2
Source right: (dir) http://192.168.10.95/svn/repo/trunk/nz/shared@21844
As for the result,
I'd like my local copy to discard the change made at /trunk/nz/shared
since the exact same difference is present at; /trunk/shared
Upon reflection it seems like a pretty silly idea to be had from the start...
Replicate a hard path with an external from another path - and somehow expect
it to behave correctly.
But since I used the following;
cd /trunk/nz
svn up --set-depth exclude shared
so as to ignore the /trunk/nz/shared directory intitally - it seemed ok to
proceed with the external at the same location.
