We are using svn:externals with pegged revisions to re-use common components. We've noticed some unexpected behavior which I suspect may be a bug. Let's assume we have a folder A which has an svn:externals property which points to folder B at revision 180. When I update folder A in my working copy I indeed get folder A and folder B at revision 180. However, when I update folder B only (select B in Windows Explorer and click TortoiseSvn Update) I get it's HEAD revision and not 180.

Is this the expected behavior?

We're using TortoiseSvn 1.8.3 and server version 1.7.

Thank You, Shay

Yes, "external" folder in WC is nested independent WC of subtree in another repository, which have no information about relation with wrapper-repo. Thus - ordinary svn up work in usual way: update WC to HEAD
