Hey, nice to see you in Munich last week!
This is http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1643. In
latest trunk, it still gets an error, but a different one:
$ svn info | grep URL
URL: http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk
$ svn up
At revision 27301.
$ svn st -q
$ svn cp -rBASE README NEW_README
subversion/libsvn_wc/lock.c:601: (apr_err=155007)
svn: 'http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk' is not a working copy
subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:2626: (apr_err=2)
svn: Can't open file 'http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/.svn/entries':
No such file or directory
$
I don't have time to work on it right now, but if you felt like having
a look at it, I suspect the cause would not be too hard to track down.
Even just adding a regression test would be helpful.
Best,
-Karl
