RE: Problems with "svn status" command and NTFS junction points

[Phillip Susi <ps...@cfl.rr.com>]

I'd like to also request that this issue be added to the issue tracker ( 
I searched it and did not find an entry for this issue ).  I can add 
that I ran into the problem by checking out a working directory to 
c:\wd, then creating a junction c:\junction which points to c:\wd.  I 
can cd \junction and run svn status, and it flags "." with a "~" 
indicating that it thinks the current working directory is a file, not a 
directory, which is obviously false.  TortoiseSVN also does not think 
that c:\junction is a working directory.

The problem seems to be with the way subversion decides if something is 
a file, or a directory.  I'm not sure how it makes that decision, but 
obviously something is flawed with it.
