I'm not familiar with the Windows side of things, but I gave the patch a spin. If I do 'mv .svn x; ln -s x .svn', things seem to work. However, if the target of the '.svn' symlink isn't in the same directory as the symlink, 'status' just shows everything with '!' status. I didn't check, but if I'd done 'ln -s ../../.svn subversion/tests/.svn' and run 'status' in subversion/tests/, I assume it would confuse trunk/README and trunk/subversion/tests/README (due to having the same basename). It also has a test failure, attached. > On Fri, May 18, 2018 at 10:29 PM Stefan Kueng <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > It seems that svn doesn't handle reparse points properly in all > > situations.

This is a very general statement ("most code should use stat() rather than lstat()"). What specifically are you proposing to do? Cheers, Daniel
