Description

File in a working copy which are in a directory which is not tracked by
subversion causes svn status --xml to generate invalid XML (missing </target>
closing tag)

For this issue to occur, you must call svn status --xml on the file itself

Macallan:~ aturner$ svnadmin create test_repo
Macallan:~ aturner$ svn co file:///Users/aturner/test_repo/ test
Checked out revision 0.
Macallan:~ aturner$ cd test
Macallan:~/test aturner$ mkdir foo
Macallan:~/test aturner$ touch foo/bar
Macallan:~/test aturner$ svn status --xml foo/bar
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<status>
<target
   path="foo/bar">
</status>
svn: warning: 'foo/bar' is not a working copy
