Single-file update of mistakenly deleted file doesn't

[Staffan Tjernstrom <st...@eternaltraveller.com>]

Consider the following recipe.

I mistakenly delete file x.y from my working directory, whilst not being
in a position to want to bring in a big change that has recently
happened to the HEAD of where I'm standing.

I could try to svn revert the file, but if i do this using the filename
as an argument, I only get a "At revision x" message back, and the file
doesn't re-appear.

Likewise if I svn update x.y. I get "At revision x", but no file is
created.

However, if I do either of the 2 commands without the filename argument,
I see the "File x.y recovered" message, and the file is there.

This only happens with the Windows build of the client, not the linux
build.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks!

That's indeed the case - although I could have sworn... need more coffee
and better typing skills I guess.

Until such time as non-case-sensitivity is understood (might have to
wait for the ODS-5 OVMS build for that) I'll post big warning signs on
our internal developer sites for this one.

Are you specifying the filename with the correct case?  I get the
behavior you describe if I don't specify the case correctly -- if I
specify the case correctly it works for me.  It appears to be yet
another annoying little artifact due to Subversions minimal support of
case-insensitive filesystems.
