xml output changed - relative paths now appearing?

This might be an issue I need to take up with the subversion team - but -
has anyone run into this?

Using TortoiseSVN 1.7.11 (aka SVN 1.7.8) , with the command line utilities
installed , from a CMD (dos shell) window , do the following:

CD\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\Bin
svn status --verbose --xml C:\PATH\TO\REPOSITORY

then , using TortoiseSVN 1.8.0 (aka SVN 1.8.0) repeat the test, and compare
the xml outputs. For me (on a Win XP 32bit machine), they differ in a very
key fashion:

"old" xml (just a leading excerpt)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<status>
<target
* path="C:\svnfocus\versions\version8\dev">*
<entry
* path="C:\svnfocus\versions\version8\dev">*
...
...

THE KEY bit is the PATH="" parts . notice how they specific a full absolute
path? Then, contrast to the "new" xml output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<status>
<target
* path="C:\svnfocus\versions\version8\dev">*
<entry
* path="..\..\..\svnfocus\versions\version8\dev">*
...
...

NOW SEE how the target and entry paths differ. The entry path possess
enough ..\ "parent" folder references to "dig out of the" Program
Files\TortoiseSVN\bin path all the way back up to the point from which the
\svnfocus\versions\version8\dev path might be constructed. I've
experimented moving the execution directory around - i.e. executing the svn
command from C:\ or C:\OTHER\FOLDER\PATH , and the ..\..\ changes
accordingly.

So - as I imagine , this might be something to take up with the subversion
crowd... but , any comments from this user base?

Thanks,
Alexander
