Hello all,

I'm using SVN 1.8.8 and facing an issue with externals that worked perfectly fine using SVN 1.8.4
Basically, they all are defined like this:

-r 7121  ../../../Path/To/Calculator Calculator

When I update, this gives me the following error:

D:\Path\To\WC\Some\App\Calculator
Path
 '/svn/Repository/!svn/rvr/34031/branches/some/branch/Path/To/Calculator' not
 found

This is correct because there was some overhaul in the repository and the path pointed at by the relative external did not (yet) exist in revision 7121.
I thus decided to change the external to this:

-r 7121  ^/branches/OldBranch/Path/To/Calculator Calculator

Because I know that at revision 7121, the following path is completely valid.
However, I still get an error, telling me this:

D:\Path\To\WC\Some\App\Calculator
Path
 '/svn/Repository/!svn/rvr/34031/branches/OldBranch/Path/To/Calculator' not
 found

Basically, it's testing for existence in the latest revision instead of the external defined revision.

Have I done something wrong in my setup?
Any pointers are most welcome.

Regards.
