Hello,

The situation of the replacement of a directory by a circular symlink
generates an XML fragment which is invalid, hence triggers a failure
within the calling system. See hereafter the recipe.

Starting from a clean folder, do the following:

% svn mkdir 1
A         1
% rmdir 1
% ln -s 1 1
% touch 2
% svn status --xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<status>
<target
   path=".">
<entry
   path="1">
<wc-status
   item="obstructed"
   revision="-1"
   props="none">
</wc-status>
</entry>
svn: E000062: Can't open directory '/Users/dexco/svntest/svn/1': Too many 
levels of symbolic links
%

There is a missing end tag for <target> and <status>.
Another issue is missing output: path '2' is not listed.

The correction of these issues will be much appreciated (i use 1.11.1).

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.
