The official view: any time you want to run svn from a script, you should be using --non-interactive. Sure, it seems you can sometimes skip it, but the set of circumstances that will use interactive behavior may change over time, so it is best not to assume you know which commands need this and which do not. You seem to be asking for Subversion to call isatty(0) and if it returns false, assume --non-interactive. I am not sure if that's a good idea. Upstream may resist this on the grounds that it isn't necessarily portable to Windows (though it should work on any Unix). -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/
