Symlink-to-WC bugs
Over time, I've run into a couple of misbehaviours when trying to do svn
operations through a symlink to a working copy.
Two that I can remember:
svn info /path/to/symlinktowc
thinks it is an unversioned directory
svn commit /path/to/symlinktowc/fileinwc
with ra_dav, post-commit failure executing modify-wcprop
How best to put these in the tracker?
- Individual bugs, bound by common words in subject line
- Annotations on a single umbrella bug
- Individual bugs, plus an umbrella bug, depending on all the satellite
bugs?
Max.

Sounds like this is the same problem that I reported several months ago
in bug #2284. The problem is that when subversion stats a file, if that
file is a symlink to a directory, subversion doesn't look at the
directory bit but rather assumes that it is a symlink to a file. It
gets upset when the .entries file says that it should be a directory but
it sees it as a symlink to a file.

Issue 2305 (http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2305)
I think filing these separately is the best way. The behaviors exhibited
and the code changes necessary to fix them are only loosely related.
