Win32 NTFS Junction bug
Please don't ask why but one of my colleagues working copy is in a subst to an NTFS Junction which
points to the real files. I said don't ask:-(
Basically Subversion really doesn't like this, probably in good taste:-) but it ought to either work
or fail more gracefully:
I:\>svn update
U confwiz\Dynisco\wiz1390.uiz
svn: In directory ''
svn: Error processing command 'modify-wcprop' in ''
svn: '' is not a working copy
I:\: => C:\sources\itools\itools
C:\sources\itools>junction itools
Junction v1.02 - Win2K junction creator and reparse point viewer

Systems Internals - http://www.sysinternals.com
C:\sources\itools\itools: JUNCTION
Substitute Name: \??\d:\RedirectedFromSourcesOnCDrive\iTools\itools
Should this be added to issuezilla?

No, it's a problem with Subversion not allowing symlinks to WC
directories (as opposed to symlinks _in_ WC directories). Or at least it
used not to; that may have been fixed in HEAD.

See this thread on the users' list:

Seems like a problem with APR and NTFS junction points. I don't use
SUBST and I'm unable to have a WC on a junction (you can have a WC on a
dir under a junction, though).

Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this!
Doctor: Then don't do that!
Seriously, I suspect the SUBST is more likely the cause of the problem than the
junction (the latter being at a much deeper layer of the OS).
