Hello I'm using svn v1.6.12 and it seems that calling 'svn info --xml' on a file in an unversioned directory still causes svn to produce broken xml:
[weir...@localhost /home/sam/trunk] mkdir dir [weir...@localhost /home/sam/trunk] touch dir/file [weir...@localhost /home/sam/trunk] svn info --xml dir/file <?xml version="1.0"?> <info> svn: 'dir' is not a working copy [weir...@localhost /home/sam/trunk] svn --version svn, version 1.6.12 (r955767) compiled Aug 5 2010, 15:04:19 > Copyright (C) 2000-2009 CollabNet.

I'd comment on original issue, but it doesn't seem to be possible, so I'm posting this to the mailing list hoping someone from dev team would pick this up. -- Best regards, Bruce Weirdan mailto: weir...@gmail.com
