SVN won't download newly added files but will update existing. Developer B adds 3 new files to the repo, and when Developer A updates it does not download the files. Both using TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? If Developer A goes to the Repo Browser they can see them, but it just won't update their folder with them on an Update. Help would be appreciated.
A:
Make sure Developer B adds and commits the 3 new files and that you two are connected to exactly the same place.

You can check whether they were actually committed by using Repo-browser and seeing if the files are visible in the branch.

Thank you, he did commit them as I could see them in the repository. Update to revision with fully recursive selected did the trick.

Is there any chance the developer did the initial checkout using sparse directories? Also make sure they aren't passing an incorrect --depth parameter to the update command.

From this answer: Subversion (using VisualSVN/Tortoise) refuses to pull down new files
Call once the "update to revision..." dialog and select "fully recursive" as depth. There seems to be a problem with empty folders.

This worked. It's strange because it was not an empty folder, it was simple a couple of files added to an existing folder that already contained a dozen other files. Thank you for the help.
