svn & junctions (windows)

Hi all,

I'm trying to use 'Directory symbolic links' (NTFS junctions) to share
a working copy between two development environments (Assembler and
Delphi, where the assembler output is embedded in the Delphi
application).

To reproduce the problem:

cd path-to-tmp-dir
junction junctionToWC path-to-existing-WC

svn info junctionToWC

        svn: '.' is not a working copy
        svn: Can't open file '.svn\enties': ...

svn info path-to-tmp-dir\junctionToWC

        svn: 'path-to-tmp-dir' is not a working copy
        svn: Can't open file 'path-to-tmp-dir\.svn\entries': ...

I can work around the problem, by cd-ing into junctionToWC and calling
svn from there.

My first reaction was: "well, so svn doesn't like junctions", but then
I discovered, that svnversion works without problems.
So there might be a chance to get svn to work too.
