Major Description
Also see my email with test repository http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2010-06/0197.shtml , thread http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2010-06/index.shtml#197 . Hi, we stumbled over an annoying issue with subversion 1.6.11. If we update a WC with versioned file externals, files where the version is not equal to the last revision of the file, are double-updated on _every_ update like this: [user@machine:~/a/test_file_externals]$ svn up U trunk/combined-src/file1.c Fetching external item into 'trunk/combined-src/file1.c' U trunk/combined-src/file1.c Updated external to revision 4. Fetching external item into 'trunk/combined-src/file2.c' Updated external to revision 4. Updated to revision 6. [user@machine:~/a/test_file_externals]$ svn up U trunk/combined-src/file1.c Fetching external item into 'trunk/combined-src/file1.c' U trunk/combined-src/file1.c Updated external to revision 4. Fetching external item into 'trunk/combined-src/file2.c' Updated external to revision 4. Updated to revision 6. [user@machine:~/a/test_file_externals]$ Naturally this updates the file timestamps everytime and thus triggers Makefile actions.
