Because '-r' tells SVN to look for that path in the HEAD revision and then follow it back to the specified revision. Try using a peg revision instead: svn switch ^^/Client/B1/Addons/AddCost/@1431 --ignore-ancestry See: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.pegrevs.html ("Version Control With Subversion," chapter 3 "Advanced Topics," section "Peg and Operative Revisions") Cheers, Nathan
