Unexplained Subversion Directory Status After Check

Question

I work in an SVN repo with a huge branch area. As a result, I made a small (-depth empty) checkout in my branches folder.

Example: C: \ svn \ branches

My working copy has no subfolders.

Suppose I have a MyBranch branch that I want to check.

I run:

svn checkout http://svn/ThisProject/branches/MyBranch C:\svn\branches\MyBranch --depth infinity

Coolio. I get all the files. However, svn statusit looks a bit strange:

C: \ svn \ branches> svn status
? Mybranch

Let me check the information ...

C: \ svn \ branches> svn info.

Answer 3

You are not in the working directory, Subversion commands work only when your current working directory is inside the project directory:

cd MyBranch
svn status

After that, you will all begin to work.
