TortoiseSVN not detecting changes to SVN repository

[Luca Sassaroli]

An user commits new changes into the repository.

On my local machine I am unable to see the changes. The files on my local folder appear "green", exact match, even if the file in the repository is different.

Has anyone experienced this issue?

Hi Luca!

 

Green means „still identical to BASE, i.e. the revision i checked out last time i did an update”, not “identical to HEAD, the latest version in repo”.

 

So this is normal.

If you open the menu item “check for modifications” and click “check server”, you see where newer versions are available.

Hi Hartmut, thank you for your reply.

Unfortutately, the file on my local folder is still "green" but in reality the one in the repository is different. Some changes to the file in the repository were committed by another user. We are sure the file is different even if it appears green.

I did the refresh but it is still green. Not sure why.

Hi Luca,

as I said, this is exactly what you have to expect.

 

Green does not mean: nobody else did commit a new version.

Green means: In this working copy the *local* file is unchanged since last update.

I.e. you can update safely to the latest in the repo without overwriting / merging current *local* changes.
