The command-line test suite is designed and intended to be run only with the same branch of the command-line tools as the test themselves, so this is an acceptable change. We do try (weakly) to allow our tests to be run against different *server* versions (with to help in validating that we haven't broken compatibility between client and server, but that's not what you're talking about here. -- C.
