A colleague of mine and I discovered that the location of the working revision (working_rev) in 1.8.3 is different from 1.7.12 . We are both using svn.exe from the TortoiseSVN package on Windows. In 1.7 he gets the following:
M 1167395 1164911 FHANDFORD C:\ProgramData\Meditech\MTCM.Universe\MTCM.DEVF.Ring\!AllUsers\Sys\PgmCache\Ring\PgmSource\Foc\FocZ.Subversion.C.focus In 1.8 I get: M 1167395 1164911 FHANDFORD FocZ.Subversion.C.focus C:\ProgramData\MEDITECH\MTCM.Universe\MTCM.DEVF.Ring\!AllUsers\Sys\PgmCache\Ring Notice how in 1.8 working_rev is one character further left. I took a peak at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/subversion/svn/status.c?view=markupin various revisions since march 2013. The svn_cmdline_printf() call in print_status() appears to be consistent. working_rev also seems to be consistently set using apr_psprintf(pool, "%ld", status->revision). We can parse it correctly with either position, but worry that the position may arbitrarily change in the future causing future parsing to fail. As an example, if it moved yet another space to the left, we would lose the left most digit. Any ideas?
