They are two different commands, but the behaviour is same. So far, we
have two different test cases for each command. Now, is your question
"why we should have two separate test cases when the behaviour is
same" ? If yes, then i guess it's a new requirement, we can take a
decision to merge two test cases as one and apply it in different patch.
If no, then we treat these two commands as different and the standard
remains same as it was so far.

Currently, to run 'svn help' command, we use 'getopt_help' and
'run_help_test' functions. To run 'svn --help' command, we use
'getopt__help' and 'run__help_test' functions. Among these functions,
'getopt_help' and 'getopt__help' exist even before this patch. Let me
know how this patch can be rewritten. Thank you!
