get error on svn -u status

[Michael Kerwin]

I just moved a subversion repository from an ubuntu linux 12.04 server running 
subversion 1.6.12 to an ubuntu Linux 14.04.1 server running subversion 1.8.8. 

I have been able to export the code to an ubuntu 14.04.1 client running 
subversion 1.8.8 and when I do a 
svn -u status 
W155007: ‘home/mkerwin/src/trunk/c/eco’ is not a working copy

I get this error no matter what directory I do it in and it used to work fine 
before the move when we were running Ubuntu 12.04 clients with the old 
repository.
We are using apache2 with ssl for old and new repository.

If you ran svn export rather than svn checkout, the result will indeed not be a 
working copy on which svn status would work.

Run it on a working copy created by svn checkout.
