Hi Michael. > Your first syntax instructs Subversion to: > > - find the 'line of history' that intersects the path > "https:\\...\branch10" in revision 11893 (the @ rev) > - walk that line of history until you get to revision 11893 > (the -r rev) > - checkout that object (regardless of its path in the -r > revision)
Thanks for nice explanation. I was imagining the algorithm (slightly different): - find the object, which was on path "https:\\...\branch10" in revision 11893 - backtrack the object to the right revision (the -r rev) - checkout object which was backtracked which somehow brought me to the idea, that -r rev is here necesary, even if it has the same value as @rev. So i will stick to Yours explanation wich is apparantly more correct :) > The question is: what is the very first revision for the directory which > is > called "branch10" in HEAD?

For both the branches the revision is older. So, If I get it right, the "expected" behaviour in this case is: there is checkouted object found in the 'line of history' (in my case of https:\\...\branch7 the object was in r11893 in ancestor branch). This is great, because this was excpected also by me :) There is one remaining question: Why is this not working for the second branch: https:\\...\branch10 (error E195012 occures). Maybe there could arise some other complications about which I dont know ... Nevertheless I am glad to know about the expected behavior.
