svn segfaults on relocate when having a not checked out external

Hello, below is my shell script that raises the svn segfault for me.

The issue is, doing a relocate while having an external that is not in the
working copy. It raised for me, since I got one automated instance that
automatically sets externals for a repository, but does not need to check
it out itself, so it updates with "--ignore-externals", now I tried to
relocate that daemons working copy, svn segfaulted. Its no big issue for
me, since I can always revert to do a full checkout instead, or update
without --ignore-externals, relocate and delete the externals in the
working copy.

Still I guess, a segfault never should be not a bug, so I report it.

Operating System is Debian Jessie, if you no need any more info just ask.

Kind regards,
Axel

rep1$ cat extrep2/foo

rep1$ rm -rf extrep2/
rep1$ cd ..
atest$ mv repository1/ namechange1

This is easily tough circumvented with this. Which once again works as
expected:

rep1$ svn up

Fetching external item into 'extrep2':
A extrep2/foo
Updated external to revision 1.

At revision 0.
rep1$ svn relocate file:///home/axel/atest/namechange1
