SVN switch does not update relative path externals
----- Description -----
I'm having an issue with externals using relative paths. When I perform a switch, to switch the working copy to a branch, relative path externals still point to the old location. The only way to get the external to switch over to the new url is to 1) commit a change in the source location that the external points to and perform an update or 2) delete a file within the external path and perform an update to restore it.
----- Environment -----
# Your operating system
Windows XP 32bit SP3
# The release and/or revision of Subversion
1.5.6-SlikSvn-tag-1.5.6@36174-WIN32 and CollabNet 1.5.6
# The compiler and configuration options you built Subversion with
Downloaded windows binaries
# Any private modifications you made to your Subversion
none
# The version of Berkeley DB you're running Subversion with, if any
using fsfs
----- Steps to reproduce -----
In this example, trunk contains both dir1 and dir2 + 1 file. dir1 then has svn:externals of "../dir2 dir2"
Repo_root/
|- dir1
|-dir2 <-- mapped via svn:externals : ../dir2 dir2
|- dir2
|- text.txt
