[bug] (1.1.0rc4) setting access time on symlinks
Dear great Subversion developers,
'svn export' balks trying to set the timestamp on symlinks that
point to nonexistent files. (This includes files that don't *yet*
exist, but would later in the same export (i.e., downloaded
lexicographically later).)
Basically, Subversion shouldn't set access time at all on
symlinks.
E.g.:
mkdir /tmp/q1 ; cd /tmp/q1
svn mkdir $REPOS/foo ; svn co $REPOS/foo ; cd foo
ln -s b a
svn add a ; svn ci -m ''
# error below results even if 'b' is in the repo.
mkdir /tmp/q2 ; cd /tmp/q2
svn export $REPOS/foo
svn: Can't set access time of 'foo/a': No such file or directory

It's filed as Issue #2070 now. Subversion is a volunteer
organization, so it will get fixed as soon as someone takes to time to
figure it out and fix it.

Hi, has anything been done about this? It's still broken in 1.1.0
and I don't see an issue in the task manager about it. It seems
like a simple 1-or-2-liner. "Svn export" being broken is keeping
me from making automatic tarball releases.
