Description

Create a versioned symlink:

svnadmin create repo
svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
ln -s g wc/f
svn add wc/f
svn ci -mm wc

Checkout with 1.8 and attempt to propset using 1.7:
$ svn ps x x wc/f
svn: E235000: In file '../src-1.7/subversion/libsvn_wc/wc_db.c' line 6766:
assertion failed ((wcroot) != NULL && (wcroot)->format == SVN_WC__VERSION)
