No, it doesn't. With 1.7.4: | a:cc-svn-7 andreaskrey$ svn17 up -r85321 | Updating '.': | D tools | U ivy.xml | U src/.... | U . | | Fetching external item into 'ioc': | D moda/CHANGES | U moda/h/... (redacted output lists) | U moda/src/... | ^Csvn: E200015: Caught signal Ok, it did terminate, and fast. But there is no 'graceful' in here: | a:cc-svn-7 andreaskrey$ svn17 up -r85321 | Updating '.': | | Fetching external item into 'ioc': | svn: warning: W155004: Working copy '/Users/andreaskrey/cc-svn-7/ioc' locked. ...and that situation persists. "graceful" != "requiring manual intervention, as with 'svn cleanup'". I only see the point of an arbitrary wait when svn then at least leaves the sandbox in a state that doesn't require cleanup. Incidentally, I only found that because I wanted to see if there is still the cascade of | svn: warning: Error handling externals definition for 'moda': | svn: warning: Caught signal | svn: warning: Error handling externals definition for 'modb': | svn: warning: Caught signal | svn: warning: Error handling externals definition for 'etc': | svn: warning: Caught signal | svn: warning: Error handling externals definition for 'ant-scripts': | svn: warning: Caught signal for a single ^C. Instead the wc is borked with: | svn: Failed to add directory 'tools': an unversioned directory of the same name already exists and a spurious conflict on svn:externals on the root (this with 1.6.6).
