[RFC/PATCH] t9159-*.sh: Don't use the svn '@<rev>' syntax

Avoiding the use of the '@<rev>' syntax, in favour of an '-r <rev>' parameter, allows older versions of svn to execute the test.

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.

ATB, Ramsay Jones
