confusing 'svn update'
I must have a confused view of how 'svn update.'
Here's the scenario. User Billy Bob makes changes to a file and commits
said changes.
I execute an 'svn update' but my file remains unchanged. Should it not
be updated to reflect the recent changes Billy Bob made?
I then removed the file, run 'svn update' and the file is replaced with
the file that has Billy Bob's changes.
Someone have a ticket for the clue train for me?

Was the version of the file in your working copy untouched (unedited, and exactly as the file was before Billy Bob made his changes?) ?
That is the only reason I can think of that subversion would not update it your area - If you change it it won't update it, assuming you need your mods in tact.
Sorry I can't help you more - If you send the exact commands as suggested by Matt -maybe we can help more.

By "precise list of steps to recreate the problem" we usually mean a
bash script (or similar) that starts out with creating a repo and then
does what the two users do.

I'll see if I can reproduce the problem. Here are the exact steps:
1. Billy Bob modifies file on his laptop in his work area. Full path is
/foo/bar/foobar.pm. He is sitting in the /foo/bar directory. He
commits these changes.
2. I go to /foo/bar on my laptop. Execute 'svn update'. I do not get a
new version of foobar.pm. I remove my copy of foobar.pm. I execute
'svn update.' I get a new version of foobar.pm that contains the
changes Billy Bob put into the file.
This should be easily reproduced. I'll try to do that and post back my
results.

I would think so, assuming it's the "same" file (i.e., not some
unrelated file, in a different directory, that happens to have the
same name).

Yow, no. I'm as confused as you are. If you can come up with a
precise set of steps that reliably reproduces the problem, I'd like to
see it.
