RE: [PATCH] issue 1780: Keyword values with dollar signs causebadness.

Hi,

I updated my patch of last week to fix issue 1780.

The algorithm implemented here isn't changed, so this patch will not solve
the problem of usernames starting or ending with '$'. It only solves user-
or filenames containing a '$'.

This patch contains:
- code changes to subst.c implementing the new algorithm
- unit tests in translate-test.c

Log message:

[[[
Fix issue #1780: correct keyword expansion when URL or Author value contains
'$'.

* subversion/libsvn_subr/subst.c
  (translate_chunk): add algorithm that keeps searching for next '$' until
valid keyword is found or search limits are reached.

* subversion/tests/libsvn_wc/translate-test.c
  (lines[]): added two lines to test on '$' in Author and URL keywords.
]]]

regards,

Lieven.
