Avoiding the use of the '@<rev>' syntax, in favour of an '-r <rev>' parameter, allows older versions of svn to execute the test. Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Junio, This test is failing for me on Linux and MinGW (I don't have svn installed on cygwin), again (i suspect) due to the older versions of svn I have. [v1.4.3 on Linux and v1.4.6 on MinGW] This patch fixes the test for me. However, I noticed that there are two other uses of the syntax in t9104-git-svn-follow-parent.sh which look like this: (svn_cmd cp -m "resurrecting trunk as junk" \ "$svnrepo"/trunk@2 "$svnrepo"/junk || svn cp -m "resurrecting trunk as junk" \ -r2 "$svnrepo"/trunk "$svnrepo"/junk) && which, unless I'm confused (possible), has been coded specifically to cater to just this problem! However, I think the above is a little too "belt & braces" for my liking. What do you think? Hmm, I've just found commit ffab62681 (git-svn: handle changed svn command-line syntax, 21-09-2007), which seems to imply that the above is necessary due to a change in behaviour. I'm afraid I don't know svn much at all; the only reason it is installed on Linux is to improve test coverage of git! :-P So, maybe this patch should do the same as above (which is the reason for the RFC); dunno ... Hopefully, someone who knows svn can pick this up and make a proper patch.
