Heh, this is exactly the bug I discovered a while ago. I filed an issue about it, which describes the exact same scenario: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3474 Glad to see I'm not the only one who has run into this, so the bug gets some more attention :-). Maybe the issue should be marked as "milestone 1.7", and a link to this current mailthread could be added? Cheers, -- Johan
