Description

There is a regression from 1.8.11 to 1.8.13 also seen on trunk (confirmed by 
Stefan Sperling here http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-
dev/201505.mbox/[e-mail]%3e)

updating a working copy that contains file externals and then running svn -v st 
reports "?" instead of user and revision for the file externals.

svn -v status wc
                 2        2 me     wc
    X            2        1 me     wc\empty-main.txt
                 2        2 me     wc\sub
    X            2        1 me     wc\sub\empty-sub.txt

svn up
svn -v st wc
                 2        2 me     wc
    X            2       ?   ?     wc\empty-main.txt
                 2        2 me     wc\sub
    X            2       ?   ?     wc\sub\empty-sub.txt


hier is the complete command sequence to reproduce the effect

[[[
svnadmin create <repo path>

mkdir wc\main\sub
echo empty >wc\empty.txt

svn import --username me -m "" wc <repo path>
svn checkout --force <repo path> wc

svn propset svn:externals "^/empty.txt empty-main.txt" wc
svn propset svn:externals "^/empty.txt empty-sub.txt" wc/sub
svn commit --username me -m "" wc

svn checkout <repo path> wc2
svn -v status wc2

svn update wc2
svn -v st wc2
]]]
