I have a branch checkout that is clean (no modifications), but I cannot reintegrate

  • 0

I have a branch checkout that is clean (no modifications), but I cannot reintegrate the trunk back into my branch, because SVN thinks I have a mixed-revision working copy:

c:\myproject> svnversion
2045:2047

The problem seems to be caused by one of my externals:

c:\myproject> svn propget svn:externals tools
-r1448 ^/tools/external/trunk/gandalf/bin gandalf/bin
-r1508 ^/tools/external/trunk/gandalf/include gandalf/include
-r1508 ^/tools/external/trunk/gandalf/lib gandalf/lib
-r1428 ^/tools/external/trunk/jsdb jsdb
-r2045 ^/tools/external/trunk/java/lib/jing.jar jing.jar

You will note that all of them are directory externals rather than single-file externals, except for jing.jar, which is the same version as what “svnversion” thinks is the lowest range of my working copy, which is supposed to be a clean checkout of r2047.

How do I fix this (besides not using the single-file external)?

I’ve tried doing updates, fresh checkouts, and svn cleanup, and it still has this problem. I’m using TortoiseSVN 1.6.12

    Looks like you’re not the only one with this problem.

    The fix is to use the equivalent of svn update --ignore-externals
