Well, I have not 1.7 SVN in the hands right now (and zsh
experience at all), but for
>svn --version
svn, version 1.8.3 (r1516576)
compiled Aug 27 2013, 19:43:20 on x86-microsoft-windows
and Working Copy, checkouted from the root of repository
Working Copy Root Path: Z:\TS
...
Relative URL: ^/
for pure ^
character in URL I got rather funny results
svn ls ^/tags
svn: E155007: 'Z:\tags' is not a working copy
(Note "Working Copy Root Path" from svn info output)
but with small trick everything becomes OK
svn ls "^/tags"
1.0.0/
1.0.1/
I suppose, ^ has special meaning in all shells, you can't use it not protected
