Symlinks on windows and UNIX bug?
Hello,
I did the following with svn 1.1.3:
- on Unix, i created a sym-link: ln -s scauth scauth_link. Scauth is a directory
- svn add scauth_link
- svn ci ...
This worked fine, and ci and co on UNIX work perfectly.
Then I created a workspace on WinXP, and did a svn co of the directory containing scauth_link.
Svn status now gives (i did not touch that file):
svn st
~ scauth_link
Which is not what I expected (since I did not change anything). Even worse, ci fails:
svn ci -m"test"
svn: Übertragen fehlgeschlagen (Details folgen):
svn: Der Spezialstatus von Eintrag 'D:/user/gv/tmp/svn_wrokspace/myproduct/scaut
h_link' hat sich unerwarteterweise geändert
(Translation from German:
Svn: transfer failed (details follow):
Svn: The special state of entry "D:... Scauth_link" has changed unexpectedly.
)
Question: Bug or feature? From my point of view, svn should handle this situation gracefully (ie. Either ignore symlinks on checkout, or not assume a change in the type if I did not touch the file).
Georg

Already fixed in trunk, it will be out in 1.2. Thanks for the report.
