branches in repo subdirectory : bad behaviour

See original GitHub issue

VSCode Version: 1.27.1
OS Version: Windows 7 x64
Extension Version: 1.34.0
System Language: FR-fr
SVN Version: 1.9.4

Issue

Switching branch from repo sub-directory will fail by checkouting root repo inside sub-directory. (repo-seption)

Steps to Reproduce

Checkout a repository
Go in VsCode > Open Folder
Open one of this repository sub/folder or sub/sub/(etc…)/folder.

bottom left bar seems to understand you are in a repo subfolder, so everything is going well for now

Switch branch for any new or existing branch

BUG : at this moment, the extension will not swith the repository path from the root but will switch the selected branch root in current subfolder.

Precisions and notes

to make it more visual, let’s imagine “myproject” repo: http://myurl.com/svn/myproject/ First, you checkout trunk in C:/myproject/ Then let’s say you open C:/myproject/sub/directory/ in Vscode will show at bottom left : trunk/sub/directory So everything is perfect so far. But if you try to switch branch from this sub directory with this extension, http://myurl.com/svn/myproject/branches/my_branch_a You will get C:/myproject/sub/directory containing http://myurl.com/svn/myproject/branches/my_branch_a content, and bottom left bar will incorectly display branches/my_branch_a (should be branches/my_branch_a/sub/directory) It will so propose you to add tracking for your sub/directory/ files inside your root. 😕
