Martin,

What I usually do is edit the Python test, insert a "raise" statement
just before the line that runs the "svn" command that fails, then re-run
the test with "--no-cleanup" mode (so it does all the preparation and
then stops), and then manually run the required next command with GDB
(copying and pasting the parameters from the output of the test run that
failed).

It's not really neat, I know, but it works.

(In your attempt, I guess GDB's stdin/stdout were not connected to the
console.)
