Daniel,
 I'm not asking to change the error condition.
I guess I would prefer to emit an error in XML format, or to emit no XML at all. It doesn't seem like an "unexpected fatal error", especially because svnversion doesn't return an error.

Perhaps,
<info><error id="E155007">'/tmp' is not a working copy.</error></info>

Thanks,
Steven

Or, are you asking that it doesn't consider "the target is not a working
copy" an error condition in the first place?

Why do you need well-formed XML when both stderr and $? indicate an
error condition?

svn info --xml gives malformed XML on error.. could it detect this
situation and still cleanup the XML, or not output any XML at all?
svnversion by comparison outputs 'exported'.

-s

$ svn info --xml /tmp
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<info>
svn: E155007: '/tmp' is not a working copy
$ svn --version
