Hello subversion developers, When running 'svn up' via symlink to a working directory core is dropped. Unfortunately I do not have debugging symbols on computer I am currently working, but perhaps someone with up to date development version can reproduce the issue, and if necessary continue debugging.
$ svnadmin create repo $ svn checkout file:///home/kerolasa/tmp/repo foobar foobar Checked out revision 0. $ ln -s foobar zyzzy $ svn up zyzzy Updating 'zyzzy': Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ svn --version svn, version 1.8.0 (r1490375) compiled Jun 30 2013, 16:25:24 on i686-pc-linux-gnu p.s. Use of symlinks broke after version 1.8.0 update, making this to be a regression. -- Sami Kerola http://www.iki.fi/kerolasa/
