Bug with bad characters in past versions when doing sparse checkout
Edward Ned Harvey
I haven’t been able to reproduce any bad behavior using svn command line, so I think it’s a Tortoise thing, and am reporting it here first. Please let me know if there’s a procedure I should follow, or someplace else I should go instead. Thank you.
I captured screen shots and put them here. This is the best place to see what I’m reporting:
http://www.nedharvey.com/tortoise_svn_bug
For anyone who would prefer reading –
· At some point in history (about a year ago) we had a mac user commit files with ‘foo (x|y) bar’ in the filename.
· This caused problems back then for windows users, so the files were renamed to exclude the parens and vertical bar. Via svn mv
· In Tortoise now, if we do a sparse checkout (immediates) of the parent, and then try to go fully recursive (infinity) on the subdir which contains the formerly renamed files … Then Tortoise chokes while showing the filename which has not existed for over a year.
· Using tortoise, if we do a fully recursive checkout of *just* the subdir containing the formerly renamed files, there is no problem.

The parens are not a problem, only the bar is.

Can you please try with the Subversion command line client?
Run an
$ svn update --depth infinity --set-depth infinity path/to/workingcopy

I suspected as much.

FYI, I worked around this problem by removing the history of the file(s) as follows:
mv logistic_function.pdf tmp_logistic_function.pdf
svn rm --force logistic_function.pdf
svn commit -m ''
mv tmp_logistic_function.pdf logistic_function.pdf
svn add logistic_function.pdf
svn commit -m ''
So now I'm going to reproduce the behavior in a sandbox file:// repository.
First question ... Yes I'm able to reproduce it by creating a file with a bad name inside a subdir, then renaming the file, then doing a sparse checkout of the parent, then trying to go fully recursive with tortoise. So let's see what the command line does:
C:\>svn --version
svn, version 1.5.5 (r34862)
C:\working_dir>svn update --set-depth infinity dir1
svn: Can't check path 'dir1\New(x|y)Text Document.txt': The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Ok - So I guess that means it's a svn bug. I'll go talk to the other list.
