The conversion from "gt '1.6.12'" to "compare() > 0" is correct, I
think, as the original wanted to make sure that you have 1.6.13 or
newer (in other words, '1.6.12' is not good enough, but '1.6.13' is).
The fix was about not doing string comparison between the version
string and '1.6.12' string, i.e.
if ("1.6.9" gt '1.6.12') {
use the logic for newer versions
}
incorrectly used the logic for newer versions. That was the only
thing f760c90 (git-svn: introduce SVN version comparison function,
2012-05-02) addressed.
It is possible that '1.6.12' is not the right cut-off point and the
logic may require a version newer than that but that is outside the
scope of f760c90.
The cut-off point comes from 082afee (git-svn: use platform specific
auth providers, 2012-04-26).
