"Support" is generous, we only really support copied switches with no modifications: svnadmin create repo svn import -mm repo/format file://`pwd`/repo/A/B/f svn import -mm repo/format file://`pwd`/repo/A/B/C/g svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc svn sw ^/A/B/C wc/A/B svn cp wc/A wc/X Using 1.6 the copy of the switch does not show up in status. Using 1.6 the switch does not count as a local modification and gets ignored by the the commit harvester. After the commit 1.6 shows wc/X/B as switched. If I make a text modification within the switched subdir before commit: echo xx >> wc/X/B/g then the commit fails because it attempts to modify /X/B/g in the repoository and that file does not exist. The fact that 1.6 attempts to commit modifications to the wrong file is a definite bug, if the path existed and the checksums matched the commit would go through. 1.7 treats the copy of the switch as a local modification that gets committed as a replace; after the commit there is no switch. The test is new in 1.7 and it's not clear to me that the new behaviour is correct. -- Philip
