[Bug 1095845] [NEW] Subversion does not properly report status of externals

Thu Jan 3 22:27:20 UTC 2013

Public bug reported:

I have used Subversion for a long time without issue; however since the
upgrade from Kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 I have an issue with the Ubuntu
provided version of Subversion properly reporting the status of the
svn:externals in the working copy. The below is an example:

bmeyer at bmeyer:~/viking/tools/profileDisplayTool.trunk$ svn status
X       railTemplates
X       fullProfileImageLibrary
X       imQt_deps
?       src/old-data
?       src/data6
?       src/data7
X       system-includes
bmeyer at bmeyer:~/tools/displayTool.trunk$ cd imQt_deps/
bmeyer at bmeyer:~/tools/displayTool.trunk/imQt_deps$ svn status
M       include/im/Qt/profiles/graphics/imGraphicsRT.h
M       src/profiles/graphics/imGraphicsRT.cpp
?       src/profiles/graphics/'
M       src/profiles/graphics/imGraphicsNFP.cpp
M       src/profiles/graphics/imGraphicsCommon.cpp
M       src/profiles/profiles.pro
X       src/service/qt-service
X       system-include
bmeyer at bmeyer:~/tools/displayTool.trunk/imQt_deps$ 

If I directly query the svn:external it reports properly. However if I
query from the parent project it does not.

While this seems like the patch referenced for Subversion 1.8.0 in
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1935 was included in
1.7.5 for Ubuntu it doesn't as that is supposedly for only when there
are no changes in the svn:external and I can very well show that I do
have changes in the svn:external.

Is there something Ubuntu did for 12.10 in upgrading Subversion (including  patch or something) that changes this behavior?
How can I get back to the old behavior?

I did not change any setting for Subversion when moving from Kubuntu
12.04 to 12.10; and I have not set any settings in the ~/.subversion
directory's files.
