Description Brion Vibber 2006-09-15 08:10:56 UTC
The .svn/entries file format has changed from clean XML to some weird line-based 
fixed-size format, and the revision number can't be extracted.

Could switch to using the 'svnversion' helper program if present, but may not be 
reliable (chroot, non-standard directory, different versions present, or just missing 
because the checkout was made on another machine).

Good to figure out the new format, if it's consistent or documented. Sigh.
Comment 1 Jimmy Collins 2006-09-21 15:08:37 UTC
The new format is consistent. I have patched SpecialVersion.php so that it could
handle SVN 1.3 and SVN 1.4 in 
r16588.
