wordpress 2.5 and subversion
For some reason, performing an svn update on the external repository http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/ does absolutely nothing. This is pretty baffling behavior. Same wordpress and subversion issue also mentioned here.
I’ve also tried /tags/2.5 and /branches/2.5 and nothing. No changes come across. Very weird. Anyone else getting this?

If the installed version is from one URL, svn up will only update the items committed to the same URL (trunk/tag/branch). If the item was committed to a tag or branch you have to either svn merge that URL with your current working version or svn switch the working version with the URL.

Well, that’s my point, the installed version is from /tags/2.3.3 per the wordpress documentation. When I update the url to be /tags/2.5 and do an svn up, it does nothing. That’s not the way it has worked for the whole 2.x series as that’s the way I’ve been updating the site (per my notes here http://www.boringguys.com/2008/02/18/using-subversion-externals-property-for-wordpress-upgrades/ )
