Error when restoring broken links

From: Øyvind A. Holm <sunny_at_sunbase.org>

The symlinks story goes on... When trying to check out or update broken
links and "use-commit-times = yes" is set in ~/.subversion/config , svn
aborts with the message

subversion/libsvn_wc/log.c:329: (apr_err=155009)
svn: In directory 'trunk'
subversion/libsvn_wc/log.c:1236: (apr_err=155009)
svn: Error processing command 'set-timestamp' in 'trunk'
subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:780: (apr_err=2)
svn: Can't set access time of 'trunk/broken_symlink.txt': No such file
or directory

Tested with trunk@r10245 and 1.1.x@r10244 , and the following script
reproduces the error:

======== CUT {{{ ========
#!/bin/bash

mkdir wc repos 2>/dev/null
[ -d "repos/." ] || { echo "Repository parent dir not found" >&2; exit 1; }
[ -d "wc/." ] || { echo "wc parent dir not found" >&2; exit 1; }
subrepos=test.$(date +"%H_%M_%S")
repos=$(/bin/pwd)/repos/$subrepos
echo === Creating repository in "$repos"...
svnadmin create $repos
cd wc || { echo "cd wc: Error" >&2; exit 1; }
echo === Checking out empty wc...
svn co file://$repos $subrepos
echo === cd $subrepos
cd $subrepos || { echo "cd $subrepos: Error" >&2; exit 1; }
echo === svn mkdir trunk
svn mkdir trunk
echo === Checkin empty trunk
svn ci -m "Added trunk"
echo === cd trunk
cd trunk
echo === Create regular file regular.txt
echo This is a regular file >regular.txt
echo === svn add regular.txt
svn add regular.txt
echo === Checkin regular.txt
svn ci -m "Adding regular file"
echo === ln -sv regular.txt symlink.txt
ln -sv regular.txt symlink.txt
echo === svn add symlink.txt
svn add symlink.txt
echo === Check in symlink
svn ci -m "Adding symlink to regular.txt"
echo === svn update
svn up
echo === So far so good. Now we\'ll create a broken symlink
ln -sv path/to/nowhere/land broken_symlink.txt
svn add broken_symlink.txt
echo === Checkin broken_symlink.txt
svn ci -m "Adding broken_symlink.txt" broken_symlink.txt
echo "=== cd ..; rm -rf trunk"
cd ..
rm -rf trunk
echo === svn up
svn up
======== CUT }}} ========

This is the result of running the script with the newest version from
1.1.x:
