svn: Shallowing of working copy depths is not yet supported

ERROR: The SVN transfer didn't finish successfully.


Are you running subversion 1.5 or does the script assume subversion 1.5 by any chance? I read that version 1.5 adds the option to specify the working copy depth.

Indeed, current installed (under Gentoo) subversion version is 1.5.0. There are depth-related options (below), but I understand nothing in working copy depth.

Code: Select all

  --depth ARG              : limit operation by depth ARG ('empty', 'files',
                            'immediates', or 'infinity')
  --set-depth ARG          : set new working copy depth to ARG ('empty',
                            'files', 'immediates', or 'infinity')


Looks like the following line in the script fails:

Code: Select all

svn co -N $SVN_SERVER/home/kde/branches/stable/extragear/multimedia $BUILD_DIR

However, I do not know why. A starting point might be to google for the "svn: Shallowing of working copy depths is not yet supported" message and see what causes it.

Googling finds this thread only
