Daniel,
I'm not asking to change the error condition.
I guess I would prefer to emit an error in XML format, or to emit no
XML at all. It doesn't seem like an "unexpected fatal error", especially
because svnversion doesn't return an error.
Perhaps,
<info><error id="E155007">'/tmp' is not a working copy.</error></info>
Thanks,
Steven
