Hi,

We have the following issue:

SVN cannot add symlinks that reference a directory which is an svn external.

We have these directories in SVN inside a parent directory:

DirectoryA
DirectoryB
Code_Framework

Code_Framework has the svn:external property pointing to another location "1.2.3 
http://svn/parent2/3partycode/1.2.3"

We check out parent directory and add a symlink S1 to reference \
"Code_Framework/1.2.3". This is fine.

However, when we try to add S1, we get:
svn: warning: W150002: '/Users/evanw/Projects/test/parent/1.2.3' is already under \
                version control
svn: E200009: Could not add all targets because some targets are already versioned
svn: E200009: Illegal target for the requested operation

When we try to check it in, we get:
svn: E145001: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E145001: Entry '/Users/evanw/Projects/test/parent/1.2.3' has unexpectedly \
changed special status



This operation works in SVN 1.6.x client,  but not 1.7.2. We just upgraded to SVN \
1.7.2 for our client and  our server is still on 1.6.10. We are on a Mac platform. \
SVN was installed via MacPorts.

Is this change intentional?
