    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-1703?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16965687#comment-16965687 ] 

Nathan Hartman commented on SVN-1703:
-------------------------------------

For what it's worth, I tested this issue using the script provided by C. Michael Pilato above with Subversion 1.12.2 and I can confirm this issue still manifests as of that version.

> It can be reproduced with either SVN 0.34 or a fresh build of 0.36 on a Win2K
> client. Our Server is still running 0.32.1 (we're waiting for 1.0 to make the
> next step), but the linux 0.32.1 client behaves just the same (tried it a few
> seconds ago). The messages are copy&pasted from my windows box.
> Steps to reproduce:
> - inside a working copy create a blank directory named "test"
> - set the "svn:externals" property on the WC to "test
> http://some.repository/location"
> - type "svn st", lean back and watch the infinite loop go by

> X      test
>  M     .
> Performing status on external item at test
> X      test
> Performing status on external item at test

> ...Repeat as often as you like...
