Subversion Info - Path Blank

We have a need to execute the svn.exe like this:

svn.exe info --non-interactive  --revision BASE

With the revision set to BASE we don't need the path we are only quering the working directory.   To find out the Rev Number we are building so I can put it in the version number.

However if we leave the path blank we get: "Path has not been set"

So trying to outsmart it it we created a variable %BLANK% and set it to nothing and then we get "Path is Empty"

So we set the path  to "--no-auth-cache" which is a valid parameter to info and it worked.   It's a work around.

I thought I would report the lack of functionality for subversion.

 

Hi Robert,

This was an oversight on our part. Ingenious workaround, though. ;).

If you need it, here’s a test build where the Path parameter has been made optional (no --no-auth-cache required!)

Please let us know how you go if you get a chance to download it.
