Using Tortoise SVN version 1.10.1, I have a batch file that checks out multiple (~20) Visual C# .NET projects from the SVN Server.

If I right-click on the project folder, the context menu contains 'SVN Upgrade working copy'. Until I do this, the overlay icons are not right and I will get complaints when I open the project in Visual Studio.

If I use the UI version of checkout, I use the default options for Checkout Depth, Revision, and dont-omit-externals. When I check out a project this way, the icons are correct and I am able to open the project normally in VS.

The command-line arguments are poorly documented for Tortoise; how do I use the command-line version of checkout that gives the same results as the UI version?

Hello!

You are probably using a very old command line client, not the one that comes with TortoiseSVN 1.10.1
The message suggests that the svn checkout was done with version 1.7 or older (IIRC).
Double check your path and which svn.exe was called in the checkout batch.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

This was exactly the problem - I had an older subversion client in the path. Removed it and the Tortoise version of SVN.EXE worked perfectly.

Vielen Dank!
