Thanks for your bug report, and for being so patient, and for not giving up :) I used this command sequence with 'svn' built from trunk: [[[ svnadmin create /tmp/repos mkdir -p /tmp/wcwmain/sub echo empty > /tmp/wc/empty.txt svn import -m "" wc file:///tmp/repos svn checkout --force file:///tmp/repos /tmp/wc svn propset svn:externals "^/empty.txt empty-main.txt" /tmp/wc svn propset svn:externals "^/empty.txt empty-sub.txt" /tmp/wc/sub svn commit -m "" /tmp/wc svn checkout file:///tmp/repos /tmp/wc2 svn -v status /tmp/wc2 svn update /tmp/wc2 svn -v st /tmp/wc2 ]]] + svn -v status /tmp/wc2 2 2 stsp /tmp/wc2 X 2 1 stsp /tmp/wc2/empty-main.txt 2 1 stsp /tmp/wc2/empty.txt + svn update /tmp/wc2 Updating 'wc2': Fetching external item into 'wc2/empty-main.txt': External at revision 2.
