Description

In [12031] the following line was created (svn blame output, line 304, source:trunk/Combinator/combinator/branchmgr.py): 

12031      glyph         doc = parse(os.popen("svn info --xml"))

This command combination was introduced in svn 1.3.0 (see http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.3.0/CHANGES), breaking pre-1.3.0 svn clients.

  • owner changed from glyph to albertHofkamp.

I don't have any interest in supporting pre-1.3 SVN clients. If you want to develop a patch to do this, please feel free.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • completion_estimate_date changed.
  • resolution set to wontfix.
  • branch changed.
  • branch_author changed.

Time marches ever onwards into the future.

It seems likely that few people are affected by this issue anymore. Owing to the lack of outside interest in fixing it, I'm going to formalize the de facto decision at which we seem to have arrived.
