I believe the problem is an svn:special file that contains a '\n' character: svn cat https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/commons/dbcp/binaries/HEADER.html@4588 | od -c 0000000 l i n k . . / H E A D E R . h 0000020 t m l \r \n 0000026 I can reproduce on Linux: svnadmin create repo printf "link foo\n" > x.x svnmucc -mm -U file://`pwd`/repo put x.x f propset svn:special '*' f Now svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc svn st wc M wc/f The reason is that create_special_file_from_stream() reads just the first line of the file to define the symlink while svn_wc__internal_file_modified_p() compares against the whole file. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
