modifyng symlinks
Hello,
I'm using :
svn, version 1.7.7 (r1393599)
compiled Nov 7 2012, 19:23:31
on a debian host.
I am trying to create and apply a patch on a repos with the new svn commands: svn diff and svn patch.
The commit is, for what matters, changing the target of a symlink.
The patch section related to my symlink looks like this:
Modified: folder/symlink
===================================================================
--- folder/symlink 2012-10-18 10:56:32 UTC (rev 76023)
+++ folder/symlink 2012-10-18 11:25:32 UTC (rev 76024)
@@ -1 +1 @@
-link file
\ No newline at end of file
+link other_file
\ No newline at end of file
Since I'm on a linux host my symlink file is really a symlink.
This way "svn patch" is actually trying to modify "folder/file" instead of editing file pointed by "folder/symlink".
Is this a known behaviour ?
Regards,
Marc Schlinger

I've added a regression test for this: http://svn.apache.org/r1409652

I don't recall a previous report of this, and I can reproduce it with trunk:
% $svn patch 1
subversion/svn/patch-cmd.c:91: (apr_err=2)
subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c:2987: (apr_err=2)
subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c:2892: (apr_err=2)
subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c:1915: (apr_err=2)
subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c:919: (apr_err=2)
subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:3193: (apr_err=2)
svn: E000002: Can't open file '/home/danielsh/src/svn/t1/wc/iota': No such file or directory
zsh: exit 1 $svn patch 1
(where the patch changes "link foo" to "link bar" in the file ^/iota)
