svn move with external definitions?
Hello,
while trying to improve on the "HOWTO: Keep your / under subversion" before I publsih it, run into
the following problem:
# svn co svn+ssh://user@svn/home/user/repos/hosts
[snip]
# cd hosts
# ls -1
P4desktop
common
laptop
specific
# svn mv P4desktop/ specific/desktop/
Performing status on external item at 'P4desktop/etc/portage'
svn: Use --force to override this restriction
svn: Move will not be attempted unless forced
svn: 'P4desktop/etc/portage' is not under version control
# svn propget svn:externals P4desktop/etc/
portage svn+ssh://luser@svn/home/user/repos/hosts/common/desktop/etc/portage
However, this works as expected.
# svn mv svn+ssh://user@svn/home/user/repos/hosts/{,specific/desktop/}P4desktop
And while further playing, I got another instatnce of the same problem, so I can define the problem.
How can I move a path in the working directory when it has svn:externals in it?

could not help me much :-(
Kalin.
