I'm not sure how many elements of this recipe are relevant, and I didn't gather
data beforehand simply because I didn't think it was going to break :-)
Summary:
* a working copy against svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.0-stabilization
* the WC was a non-recursive checkout (just that top-level dir's contents)
* not sure what version was used for that checkout, but definitely "older"
(possibly even something like 0.27 or whatever)
* I tried to switch to branches/1.0.x (using a 0.37 client) and it died
* realized I forgot -N and tried switching again. died harder.
* some metadata appears borken
Details:
The first switch run and its failure:
[gstein@buu 1.0-stabilization]$ svn switch
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.0.x
U Makefile.in
UU STATUS
U build.conf
subversion/libsvn_wc/lock.c:612: (apr_err=155005)
svn: Working copy 'www' not locked
[gstein@buu 1.0-stabilization]$
# note it says it got a copied of STATUS. more on this later.
Seeing that, I looked at the dir, and ran a couple 'svn info' commands:
[gstein@buu 1.0-stabilization]$ svn info .

# the above URL looks okay. this file wasn't touched.
When I realized the non-recursive WC at this point, I then ran the switch again,
but using the non-recursive flag:
[gstein@buu 1.0-stabilization]$ svn switch -N
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.0.x
subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:661: (apr_err=175002)
svn: REPORT request failed on '/repos/svn/!svn/vcc/default'
subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:647: (apr_err=175002)
svn: The REPORT request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse error at
line 1: no element found (/repos/svn/!svn/vcc/default)
[gstein@buu 1.0-stabilization]$
Another 'svn info' now:
[gstein@buu 1.0-stabilization]$ svn info STATUS
Path: STATUS
Name: STATUS
URL: http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/STATUS

Note the whacked URL. The contents of STATUS is the one from the 1.0.x branch at
that time (rev 8769).
I'll leave the WC around in case it might be helpful.
