Bug in svn cp (wc->url)

[Thomas Moschny <mo...@ipd.uni-karlsruhe.de>]

Hi,

We are using Subversion for a quite large project.
Recently we had some trouble with the svn 'cp' command: When copying from the 
working copy into the repository (to create a new branch, for example), it 
ignores the fact that some files were deleted in the working copy.

Here is a small bash script that shows the problem:

# create repository
svnadmin create repos
repos="file://"$(pwd)"/repos"
svn mkdir ${repos}/trunk -m 'trunk creation'

# checkout
svn co ${repos}/trunk work

# create a version
touch work/a work/b
svn add work/a work/b
svn commit work -m 'v1'

# check out this version again 
rm -rf work
svn co -r2 ${repos}/trunk work

# now change something
echo "modified" >> work/a
svn rm work/b

# and commit to a new branch
svn copy work ${repos}/v2 -m 'copy'

# checkout to another working dir
svn co ${repos}/v2 work2

# compare
diff -r --exclude .svn work work2

The documentation for svn cp reads: "WC  -> URL:  immediately commit a copy of 
WC to URL", so I would expect the diff output to be empty. However, with svn 
version 0.36.0, we get: "Only in work2: b", i.e. deletion of b was ignored, 
while the modification of a has made it into the v2 branch. 

If there's nothing I have overlooked, this seems to be a bug. 

Regards,
Thomas

Seems to work now, thanks for the quick fix!

Well, it wasn't quick-like, but hopefully the change I just committed
to /trunk will work.

Yes.  I can reproduce the bug, and I know the cause.  I'll see if I
can bang out a fix real quick-like.
