From time to time, I've seen evidence that our trunk code is walking up too
far in its parent tree as well, but every time I try to create a reliable
recipe, I can't. I have nothing but wc-1 working copies on my system for
day-to-day use. (I run subversion 1.6.x by default.) My home directory is
versioned, for example, as is the directory ~/tests (but nothing inside
~/tests is versioned). What I've seen, though, is that if I use trunk svn
to do some testing, creating working copies and such inside ~/test/,
sometimes I get errors that indicate that the client has crawled up out of
that wc-ng working copy and is looking at ~/test/. Obviously, it'd be fine
if it crawled up that far, realized that it had gone above the WC root, and
just gracefully realized that it had crawled too far. But instead, it fails
with an error. Unfortunately, I can't recall which error is presented:
"working copy is too old", perhaps.
