  you are right about the makefile, and in fact about the './' usage, as the README

resides inside subversion/tests/cmdline. But what about the usages like

subversion/tests/cmdline/basic_tests.py 1 ? Not every use of such path mentions that the cmd has

to be executed from the top level dir of the source tree (tho it is obvious, it is ambiguous when seen in context with the './' using examples.)
