I will see if I can reproduce the problem with a newer server version. It seems to me that the 1.7.x client does something that the 1.6.x does not - since updating svn:externals works just fine using a 1.6.x client ..? -- Åsmund Texas Instruments Norway AS, Gaustadalléen 21, NO-0349 Oslo, Norway.

I don't have a 1.1.4 server to try. If you provide a complete reproduction recipe it would allow you to try a newer server and allow other people to try as well. -- Philip
