Sparse Checkout not working correctly?

In prior versions of SVN (last I checked that it worked was 1.7.x) I could do a sparse checkout and things worked as expected.. for example:

Say I’m in a directory called code and do:
> svn co http://blabla/svn trunk --depth=empty

I then see code/trunk

and if, while still in the code dir, I do
> svn st

I get a little message that says the code dir isn’t under version control. Makes sense. I can then cd into trunk and continue to sparsely update particular directories from the svn repo and all is well.

HOWEVER. :) Now, with 1.8 and 1.9, I’m seeing an issue..

Say I’m in my code dir and do
> svn co http://blabla/svn trunk --depth=empty

Now if I do
> svn st
I see as the result:
A .
? trunk

And things get funky when trying to check stuff in.

I browsed your bug db and didn’t see any issues that looked like this, and I didn’t see anything interesting come up doing a google search to see if others are experiencing this.. My svn server version is 1.8.10. The client is running on Mac 10.13.3 and is version 1.9.7 (r1800392)

Let me know if there’s any more info I can provide!
Thanks,
