svn status * stops when it finds a folder that isn't a WC

[Scott Palmer <sc...@2connected.org>]

A co-worker noticed an irritating property of "svn status" (using  
version 1.3.0 on Windows).

He has a folder to which he checks out various projects that he is  
working on, e.g. C:\Dev.  That folder itself is not a working copy,  
but most of the folders inside it are.

He discovered that:

C:
cd \Dev
svn st *

Will fail if it encounters a folder that isn't a working copy and it  
will not continue with all of the other folders that would match *.   
There error message is simple enough:

svn: 'aaa' is not a working copy

We stood there and said, "ok, what about all the others?" but "svn  
status" doesn't feel like telling me.

Is this considered a bug?  I can work around it a bit with a batch  
file... but I would like subversion to not give up so easily.   
Perhaps there could be a command-line option to force it to continue.
