I have a directory containing links to SVN directories that I want to update.
In some cases the link is to the root of the workspace, and in some cases the link is to a subdir. $ mkdir TEST $ cd TEST $ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk subversion $ ln -s subversion top $ ln -s subversion/tools tools $ ls -l drwxr-xr-x 26 x x 884 12 Sep 14:48 subversion lrwxr-xr-x 1 x x 17 12 Sep 14:49 tools -> subversion/tools/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 x x 10 12 Sep 14:49 top -> subversion The following commands work fine: $ svn info ... $ svn log tools ... However for other commands there are some issues. $ svn status subversion top tools svn: warning: W155007: '/srv/TEST/tools/backup' is not a working copy $ svn -u status subversion top tools Status against revision: 1808117 ~ 1808117 top Status against revision: 1808117 svn: warning: W155007: '/srv/TEST' is not a working copy Note the strange path reference. $ svn update subversion top tools Updating 'subversion': At revision 1808117.

Updating '.': At revision 1808117. These tests were done on $ svn --version svn, version 1.9.7 (r1800392) compiled Aug 10 2017, 21:32:31 on x86_64-apple-darwin16.3.0 Is this a known bug? I could not find anything in the database.
