git-svn tests fail since 1.7.2.2

I always compile git myself from scratch. One reason is that I want git-gui to push tags by default, and the option is not available to store that in some global config. The patches I apply are available as http://tux.nl/Files/git-patch

(the templates/Makefile patch is to make install work on HP-UX and AIX
 too, where my machines don't seem to like the original installation
 code, but that doesn't change anything else).

Up to and including 1.7.2.1, all went smooth and fine, but as of 1.7.2.2 (and 1.7.3.1 and 1.7.3.2), the tests started to fail on svn issues. These tests fail * with or without * my patches. As a result of these failures, I do not dare to install newer versions of git.

I (have to) use svn for some remote repositories that I clone with git-svn to be able to use my favorite tools. IMHO svn sucks in user tools, so I prefer git, but that is probably like preaching to the choir here :)

I even created a few post-commit hooks in svn to sync a git clone automatically so I don't have to waste time in svn land to track down changes from a svn repo to some local svn repo's used in Eclipse.

I do *not* have a ~/.subversion or ~/.svn*

These tests fail on *all* my Linux boxes, which happen to be OpenSUSE ranging from 11.0 to 11.3. FWIW I am not interested in svn support on HP-UX at the moment.

Linux 2.6.25.20-0.7-default/#1  HP xw4600 Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz/1998(4) x86_64  3950 Mb
+ svn, version 1.5.7 (r36142)

I'm not subscribed to this list and (sorry) have no time to follow it, so if you need more feedback, please keep me Cc'd

FYI, with Git 1.7.3.2, all tests passed for me.

In particular:

$ prove t9101-git-svn-props.sh t9143-git-svn-gc.sh t9101-git-svn-props....ok

t9143-git-svn-gc.......ok

All tests successful. Files=2, Tests=37, 11 wallclock secs ( 4.51 cusr + 2.45 csys = 6.96 CPU)

$ ../git --version git version 1.7.3.2.145.g7ebee

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, btw.

Hi,

H.Merijn Brand wrote [snipped somewhat]:

Any idea what error message or command they fail at? Useful commands to try might be

 sh t9101-git-svn-props.sh -v

and

 sh -x t9101-git-svn-props.sh -v -i

Thanks for reporting, Jonathan

Right, If I would have thought of that myself, I would not have had to report the issue. My system seems to have a non-standard "cmp" that seems to have been chosen over the system one. That cmp does not handle -.

Problem solved:

ok 26 - test proplist

# passed all 26 test(s) 1..26
