With the Perl module SVN::Client from Subversion 1.9.3, if one does: ------------------------------------------------------------ #!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict; use SVN::Client; my $svnc = SVN::Client->new; $svnc->info('.', undef, undef, sub { }, 0); ------------------------------------------------------------ one gets an assertion failure because the path is not canonical. While assertion failures are acceptable in C, this is rather annoying to get one in Perl instead of one of the proper error reporting methods. I think that this should be regarded as a bug, and it's up to the Perl module to make sure that the path is canonical before calling the corresponding svn library function. BTW, SVN::Core::dirent_canonicalize is not documented in the SVN::Core(3perl) man page. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
