I have a configuration where I checkout the following from my repository:

/DNA non-recursive --> /DNA
/DNA/ums recursive --> /DNA/ums

I do this so that i can get some properties file at the root level, but not have
to checkout the entire DNA tree.

Everything builds and publishes to ivy just fine. However, when I try to label,
it fails with the following error (it looks like it's trying to delete something out of a
tag, which is not a valid operation in subversion). Instead, if you checkout multiple trees
from the same branch/revision in the same subversion repository, it should only attempt the
label creation once. I know this is a headache with subversion if you end up with two disparate
trees, or multiple revisions/branches in the same checkout, but there needs to be some sort of
useful solution to this.

I've done this checkout manually in my directory, and have found that I can do the following:

svn -m "applying label" copy DNA http://svn.fiberlink.com/svn/dna/tags/test1

with no ill effects. granted this is all from the same branch/revision that i checked out, but
it's a good start to changing the subversion labelling technique at least for this special case.

Upon further review, this might be more a function of the pre-commit hooks than anything else. Our pre-commit hook blocks anything other than add requests to the /tags area. I've modified it to allow the build user (which quickbuild logs in as) to not be subject to this condition. So, while tagging now creates multiple revisions, it at least ends up with the proper result, and not a build failure.

That being said, it would be useful to copy the local checkout up to the tag. It seems it does a repository to repository copy.
However, if i do a non-recursive checkout of something, it tags recursively, which I don't believe it should.

QuickBuild need to perform label multiple times if there are multiple modules defined as some times the modules definition are not overlapped. And once it detects an existing path in the repository under tags directory, it will try to delete that path first before copying. It ends up with multiple revisions for a label operation, but it does not hurt I think.

As to copying the local checkout instead of using the module url, I do not think it will help in this case. It seems that Subversion will always try to replicate the whole directory recursively even if your working directory is populated with "--non-recursively" option. Please correct me if I am obviously wrong on this.

Regards.
