Thanks for the detailed bug report. I haven't looked at all the details in your post yet, but one thing stood out: > svn: warning: The file external from 'file:///tmp/repo/original/COPYING' > cannot overwrite the existing versioned item at 'linked/COPYING' I routinely get the same warning in my working copy of the ASF Infrastructure repository, where the problem is a file external that points at a mirror URL of the repository which is different to the mirror URL I am using. (I use svn.eu.apache.org and the external points to svn-master.apache.org.) It causes 'svn up' to always have a non-zero exit code, but the update otherwise finishes successfully.
