Seems like this is an SVNKit issue, since on the command line I get the
following:

> svn diff
Index: kruisend-tiger.pdf
===================================================================
--- kruisend-tiger.pdf (revision 423)
+++ kruisend-tiger.pdf (working copy)
@@ -1 +1 @@
-link TI/src/kruisend-tiger.pdf

+link ../../Oberseminar TI/src/kruisend-tiger.pdf

So indeed it picks it up correctly.

Thanks, H.
