svn --ignore-externals broken on checkout?

["rupert.thurner" <ru...@gmail.com>]

with svn-1.6

svn co --ignore-externals https://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/subversion
cd subverison/trunk
ln -s gar ../whatever
svn st
X       gar

with svn -1.7 this looks like:

svn st
?       gar

platform: solaris, http://opencsw.org

Hi Rupert,

I recently reported a similar issue on the subclipse mailing list.

My externals were showing as "?" in my working copy (within the eclipse IDE).
Yet strangely at the command line, the "X" was being shown.

I tried all manner of things;
restarting eclipse, svn cleanup, svn update...
yet the display issue was still present in my IDE.

My question then is;
Is it a "display issue" or is it a bug?

Do you have a test repo that you might be able to test this out with?
That is;
use svn add / commit - and see whether or not the files are "actually" treated as new files or not.

Gavin.

imo, 1.7 is broken. the working copy is not aware that there is an
external, and therefor thinks a folder "gar" in the above example,
created with other means, is new.

It's different, but is it 1.6 or 1.7 that is broken?  In 1.7 the
externals are more completely ignored when --ignore-externals is used,
so the wc treats gar as unversioned until you run 'svn up' without
--ignore-externals.
