I agree: this FAIL indicates str and bytes are mixed. My question is:
Why do you think svntest.verify.compare_and_display_lines() needs to be
changed? That function's names implies it deals with text files, so,
why should compare_and_display_lines() support the case that its third
and fourth parameters (EXPECTED and ACTUAL) are both lists of bytes objects?

In other words, why would changing «'rb'» to «'r'» on line 1544 —
without changing the str literals to bytes literals on line 1547 — not
be a correct solution?

Hope I'm clearer this time. If not, I'd be happy to clarify.

Cheers,

Daniel
