Externals not populating

[David Mann <dm...@kcmoptions.com>]

I have set up the svn:externals property on a folder that is checked in
to my repository.

When I did an update after setting this property, my external files were
populated as expected.

I then deleted one of the external files, and performed another update.

I thought that it would replace the missing external, but it did not.

 

I ended up deleting the working copy and checking out a new working
copy.  The externals populated correctly.

 

Shouldn't update populate any missing externals?

I tried both, neither with success.

Did you delete an entire external directory, or just an item inside a  
directory which is an external? I would have expected "svn up" in any  
parent directory to restore an entire deleted external. But if you  
delete an item inside a directory which is an external, you probably  
have to run "svn up" on the external directory itself, not on one of  
its parents.
