Yes, but should behave sanely at all times.

Vincent, could you test svn-bp 0.6.24 and check if it behaves the same
broken way? (after reproducing the situation in which 0.6.25 was).

I suspect this is a regression as a result of the attempt to fix #433532.

If that's the case, it seems the fix suggested by Joey wasn't done
exactly in that manner.

Think outside of the box ;-) . You don't have to literally look for
../tags, you could look for

TRUNK_URL after s/trunk/tags/


This is exactly what Joey proposed and it is the sane thing to do in
most cases, while it can be overridden via properties when using an
unusual layout (e.g: trunk/java/package, tags/package,
branches/java/packages) .

Fix the bug, it doesn't matter it affects the reporter or not, it will
hit somebody else sooner or later.
