Subversion misses new directories during update

Question

I\'m using SVN 1.6.3 and TortoiseSVN 1.6.6. Periodically when I do an update from the root of my project, SVN fails to pickup a newly added directory (added by a co-worker)

Answer 1

Maybe this might help?

When I update a working copy, new files are not added!

Between TortoiseSVN 1.6.0 and 1.6.1, added folders were added with a depth of "Only this item". This lead to a so called "sparse checkout" of that part of your working copy.

Please update to the latest version of TortoiseSVN to avoid such problems in the future.

To fix your sparse working copy, instead of "Update", use the "Update to revision..." command from the TortoiseSVN submenu (right-click in explorer), change the "Update depth" combobox to "Fully recursive".
