Hi,

The current directory is special. It has no real children, but does have subversion "externals" properties associated with it. These are kind of like unix "symbolic links" or windows "shortcuts". Externals don't appear when doing a directory listing, but are processed when doing a checkout. There are other uses of externals, like making the main project build directory appear again under each subproject's home directory.

In eclipse, right-click on a file and select "properties" then select the subversion tab to see the real subversion URL for any particular file or directory. This reveals when "externals" have been used, because the URL points to the "real" location of the file.

Regards,

Simon

work that way.  It had me fooled since it
let me look at other directories under https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces 
and they browse as I'd expected when
using SubClipse.  It is just 'current' that came up empty.

It only appears empty w/ SVN "externals" .  CO of current
should get everything.  What does the SVN client say?

I tried checking out the SVN repository but the current
repository was empty..  Did I miss something?  Is it empty at
certain times of the day during a build? (like 9pm Eastern
US time?)
