vcsrepo : Check out fails due to "svn status" always returning exit code '0'

Module Version: 2.0.0
Puppet Version: 4.10.7
SVN Version: 1.7.14 (subversion-1.7.14-10.el7.x86_64)
OS Name/Version: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)

Desired Behavior: With "ensure => present", if path exists, but is not a working copy, vcsrepo should check out from source to path.

Actual Behavior: vcsrepo does not check out, but Puppet run fails with:
(/Vcsrepo[/path/in/question]) Could not evaluate: Execution of '/usr/bin/svn --non-interactive --username USERNAME --password PASSWORD --no-auth-cache info' returned 1: svn: E155007: '/path/in/question' is not a working copy

I dug through the provider and found that in "vcsrepo/lib/puppet/provider/vcsrepo/svn.rb", "def working_copy_exists?" tries to find out if path is a working copy by using "svn status /path/in/question". If it fails (not a working copy), the method returns false, if it succeeds it returns true.

However, "svn status /path/in/question" always returns exit code '0', regardless if it's a working copy or not. Example:
$ svn status /path/in/question; echo $?
svn: warning: '/path/in/question' is not a working copy
0

Forcing the method to always return 'false' makes the provider function as expected.

This is most likely an issue with "svn status" using exit codes incorrectly, but maybe vcsrepo can be changed to check for "is not a working copy" instead?

  def working_copy_exists?

    return false if not File.directory?(@resource.value(:path))

    if @resource.value(:source)

      begin

        svn('status', @resource.value(:path)) # <-- This always succeeds due to "svn status" always exiting with '0'

        return true

      rescue Puppet::ExecutionFailure

        return false

      end

    else

      begin

        svnlook('uuid', @resource.value(:path))

        return true

      rescue Puppet::ExecutionFailure

        return false

      end

    end

  end
