windows junction points vs. SVN

hi,

i was wondering if subversion is the correct addressee with problems in regard to junction points.

and if other see the same problem, which is like so:

this is my directory

05.11.2009 09:20 <DIR> smila-m1-patched-updated
06.11.2009 12:38 <JUNCTION> smila-m1-patched-updated-JP [\??\E:\eCE\ce_sm544_AC\smila-m1-patched-updated]

when i call "svn info" on "smila-m1-patched-updated" i get correctly

E:\eCE\ce_sm544_AC\>svn info smila-m1-patched-updated smila-m1-patched-updated-JP
Path: smila-m1-patched-updated
URL: https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.smila/trunk
Repository Root: https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.smila
Repository UUID: 89c3eef5-5052-0410-b617-e4420d9a04fc
Revision: 259
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: rrausch
Last Changed Rev: 259
Last Changed Date: 2009-03-23 16:18:31 +0100 (Mo, 23 Mrz 2009)

but when i do so on the junction point i get:

E:\eCE\ce_sm544_AC\>svn info smila-m1-patched-updated-JP
svn: '.' is not a working copy

when i cd into the junction point then it works again

E:\eCE\ce_sm544_AC\smila-m1-patched-updated-JP> svn info
Path: .
URL: https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.smila/trunk
Repository Root: https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.smila
Repository UUID: 89c3eef5-5052-0410-b617-e4420d9a04fc

Last Changed Rev: 259
Last Changed Date: 2009-03-23 16:18:31 +0100 (Mo, 23 Mrz 2009)

can you tell me wherein the problem lies?

thx

PS:
my use case is that i use junction points (for branches) a lot.
and despite tortoise SVN i do much of my work with cmd line version.
