Hi Kamesh, I don't understand what you mean. We're probably not talking about the same thing. I'm talking about this (the file is copied and the copy is modified before commit): $ svn cp alpha alpha2 A alpha2 $ vi alpha2 $ svn di alpha2 Index: alpha2 =================================================================== --- alpha2 (working copy) +++ alpha2 (working copy) @@ -2,7 +2,6 @@ alpha 1 2 3 -4 5 6 7 $ svn ci -m"copied alpha to alpha2" Adding alpha2 Transmitting file data .
