Package: emacs24 Version: 24.2+1-2 Severity: normal vc-update and other vc-*-commands fail to detect an svn controlled directory when the directory is a symlink to an svn controlled directory.
The new SVN working copy directory tree only has .svn directory at the topmost level and it seems emacs does 'chdir("..")' or something equivalent when it tries to find the .svn directory. However, if directory A is a symlink to an svn working copy directory B, then looking at A/.. is not the right place to look for .svn; instead, emacs should note that A is a symlink, readlink() and look at B/.. instead.
