Directory delete issue
Hi,
I'm having some trouble with the delete of a directory.
I had in my project a directory named "test".
It has been committed to the repository and after a while deleted from
the working copy. The deletion has been committed and the directory does
not appear anymore in the HEAD and svn status says that everything is in
line with the repository.
Up to now, everything seems normal !
The issue raises when I'm trying to generate a new tag.
I'm using:
svn copy . [repository path]/tags/release-X.X
Then, I make a checkout of release-X-X
using: svn checkout [repository path]/tags/release-X.X [targetDir]
and in the [targetDir], I "test" directory has been recreated with its
old content!!
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks for the help,
--ERic

Yes, that helped -- especially after I tried out the "svn status
--verbose" command.
However, you might also want to put in a warning in Chapter 3, The
Basic Work Cycle where you mention the "svn commit" command
<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.tour.cycle.html#svn.tour.cycle.commit>
with a reference back to the end of chapter 2.
I can imagine someone reading Chapter 2, but this particular piece of
information not sinking in because they haven't used Subversion yet.
That will come later as they read about the various commands in
Chapter 3 and try a few examples.

Not at all. Only *part* of your working copy is at revision 2 --
namely, the items you just committed.
I've become so tired of re-explainin this FAQ in email and IRC, I
finally added this new section to the end of Chapter 2 in the 1.2 book:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.basic.in-
action.html#svn.basic.in-action.mixedrevs
Read it, see if it helps clarify!

But, when I do a commit and make revision 2 of the archive. Isn't my
working copy now at revision 2, not revision 1? Is there a situation
where this wouldn't be true? What if I make another change and create
a revision 3? Is my working directory still at revision 1?

So, the working directory is still behind, but Subversion acts as expected.

It's not a bug. 'svn copy working-copy URL' uploads your working
copy to the server, but it *notices* the mixed revisions in your
working copy. So the definiton of "revision 1" of your parent
directory is, "has the child". The defniiton of "revision 2" of the
parent directory is "doesn't have the child."
The bug I was referring to earlier is that this command should being
saying to the server: "I have revision 1 of the parent dir, but this
user has also locally deleted the child, so get rid of it on the
server too." I think that was fixed in svn 1.2.

I think you've discovered a little itty bitty bug...
* I created a test archive, created two directories in that archive,
then did a commit.
* I deleted the archive, and did a brand new checkout.
* Now, I was at revision 1 of the archive which I verified via the
"svn info" command.
* I then deleted one of the directories, and did a commit which
created a revision 2.
* I did another SVN info command, and Subversion showed that my
working directory was still at revision 1!
If I did "svn copy . file://$REPOS/tags/TEST1.0", I would see the
deleted directory under the TEST1.0 tag. Looking at the "svn log -v"
command, I could see it copied Revision 1 of my directory and not the
latest revision.
HOWEVER, if I did an "svn update" before I did the copy, Subversion
would report that I am at revision 2. Then, if I do an "svn info", I
see that my working directory is revision 2 and not revision 1. And,
if I did the same copy command at that point, it doesn't include the
deleted directory!
So, if you did an "svn update" before you do your copy, you would have
seen the correct results. Also, if you used the URL for the current
directory instead of the ".", you would have seen the correct results.
This looks like a bug to me and is easily reproducible.

Did you do 'svn update' *after* deleting test/ directory and *before* copying
to tags/ ? Maybe this is a problem?
