Hi,

These changes didn't apply to trunk/master. It looks like they are
against version 2.4.0. So I applied them there then rebased to master.

The first change is redundant with what is currently in master. The
second needed some minor tweaking.

In the future, it would be more convenient if you would submit patches
against master.


This change is in svntest, which comes originally from the Subversion
project. If you look at svntest/update.sh, you'll see how we supposedly
keep this directory updated with upstream. Normally your changes should
be submitted to upstream and then synchronized to cvs2svn.

But it has been more than two years since we last synchronized, and
there have been a lot of upstream changes since then. I just tried
updating, but our test suite doesn't work with the current version of
svntest from upstream.

So it seems we have a few alternatives:

1. Somebody steps forward to make our test suite work with the current
upstream version of svntest. (I unfortunately have no time to work on this.=
)

2. Forget about ever synchronizing with upstream again. Then we can
commit local tweaks whenever we want.

3. Some hybrid of the two, for example we apply your changes but accept
that we might have to discard them if somebody ever volunteers for (1).

4. We drop your changes and kick the can down the road.

Given that your changes are purely cosmetic, I lean towards (4) unless
somebody volunteers for (1).
