'svn ls' not showing the contents of the repository

[Anton Shepelev <an...@gmail.com>]

Hello, all

Why can 'svn ls' show different results when invoked from
two working copies of the same repository?  According to the
documentation is should always list the acutal contents of
the corresponding repository:

  The default TARGET is ., meaning the repository URL of the
  current working copy directory.

'svn info' from both the working copies returns:

  URL: http://sbo-prod1:18080/svn/Sources

so why the outout of 'svn ls' is not the same?  In the
working copy that I checked-out later it shows some newly
added directories that it does not "see" from within the
older working copy.  When I invoke:

  svn ls http://sbo-prod1:18080/svn/Sources

from the older working copy the output is as expected.

If it's "svn ls URL" then the default revision is HEAD, not BASE.

Then perhaps this fact should be mentioned in the BOOK and "svn help
ls".

"The default TARGET is “.”, meaning the repository URL of the current
working copy directory."

vs. 

"The default TARGET is “.@BASE”, meaning the repository URL of the
current working copy directory at the time of checkout or last
update."

Disregarding what is writ in the Book?

So I must either commit or update the whole working copy in
order for the new directory to become availble for download
to the workng copy?

Impossible.

Probably because the working copy's BASE revision is different.  'svn ls'
runs 'svn ls .@BASE' by default.  If you pass an explicit revision
you'll get identical output: 'svn ls -r HEAD'.

This could also be caused by authz settings.
