The problem I tried to describe was that "svn status" no longer followed the "svn:externals" into the sub-directory. If I use "svn status proj1/proj2-subdir", my svn will accurately show the status of the "proj1/proj2-subdir" directory, but "svn status proj1" never even looks at the "proj1/proj2-subdir" directory. /Johan Holmberg > ** > > *From:* Johan Holmberg [mailto:johan...@gmail.com] > *Sent:* woensdag 19 juni 2013 13:12 > *To:* users@subversion.apache.org > *Subject:* Problem, svn upgrade & externals & svn status (1.6 --> 1.7)**** > > ** ** > > Hi!**** > > I have just started using the Subversion client 1.7.5 (I used 1.6.17 > previously).
