Actually, I've been dying for some feedback about the patch. I have no
problem making a regression test if you don't mind helping me out a bit by
answering a couple of questions.
First, what's the best way to check the output of the svnlook diff command.
Is it enough that I check the output for the word 'Property' and make sure
that a property and value of my choice is in the output? Or would it be
better to compare it svn diff? I've already hacked my local copy of
svnlook_tests.py, I just need a little guidance on the preffered method of
validating the output.
Thanks!
