Not downloading all files

[Todd Somervell]

Tortoise SVN works great most of the time but occassionally it does something which really annoys.

Every so often it fails to download all of the files from the repository during an Update.

For example; I add a whole lot of new files to a web project in Visual Studio 2k8 at work. I then go home, open the project and click Update. Any files that have changed are updated but any new files are not downloaded.

All of the files are clearly visible in the repository.

I have tried all of the commands I can find to get a full copy of the repository downloaded to my working copy but nothing works. Is there a 'get everything from SVN' button?

I end up deleting the whole working copy and getting it again.

Is there some setting I need to change?
All I ever want to for Tortoise to grab everything everytime.

This can indicate that your working copy depth is no longer set to
'infinite'. Ever since SVN supports 'sparse checkouts' (1.6 if I am
not mistaken) it is possible to do a partial checkout, which is
respected by updates.

However, until TSVN 1.6.3 there were some cases where the depth could
unintentionally change, losing its 'infinite' value. To restore the
working copy depth to 'infinite', do an 'Update to Revision', choose
HEAD and select the 'fully recursive' option.

The latest version of TSVN should work OK in this respect (i.e. it
will not re-introduce the issue, but it will not automatically reset
existing sparse configurations).

Yes, that works too, but can be time consuming for large working copies.

There's also a FAQ about this:

I should have mentioned that I am running Tortoise 1.6.99.16266 with SVN 1.6.2.
'Update to Revision' -> HEAD -> 'Fully recursive' did not work (it was one of the many things I tried).

I'll make sure that all my machines are on the latest version of everything and see if it happens again...
