"svn info" does not work with symlink to different working copy

Hi all,

I am using Subverison 1.7.8. On my disk are two Subversion working copies (from different repositories), and one working copy contains a symlink to the other:

/modules/test/dir/file.dat
/sources/test/modules -> ../../modules/test/

Unfortunately "svn info" does not work with an absolute path name in this scenario:

~$ svn info /sources/test/modules/dir
svn: warning: W155010: The node '/sources/test/modules/dir' was not found.

svn: E200009: Could not display info for all targets because some targets don't exist

But it works when changing the directory before running "svn info":
~$ cd /sources/test/modules
/sources/test/modules$ svn info dir
[... valid "svn info" output ...]

I have not found anything about this behavior in the bug tracker.
Is this "by design" or is it a Subversion bug?

Regards,
Michael
