Try the following: [[[ $ svn co $REPO $WC $ ln -s $WC $WC2 $ svn st $WC2 svn: warning: W155007: '/Users/Hyrum/dev/test/blah' is not a working copy ]]]
I would expect the above to fail if creating a symlink to some directory deep within the working copy, but symlinking the root should make the .svn directory easy to find. I'm puzzled by the above result. (This is on Mac OS X.) -Hyrum -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com/
