Sorry. We get the correct setup_test_environment method, but the
setup_svnserve isn't being overridden. If I understood the chapter
from the pick axe correctly this makes sense. Ruby will look in the
class before looking in any modules to resolve the method name. So
even though the version in the SvnTestWindowsUtil module is defined
later it isn't considered when we try to call it. I expect if you
moved the original versions of the setup_svnserve, teardown_svnserve,
and add_pre_revprop_change_hook methods into a module that was
included in the else clause of the if windows? near the bottom of
util.rb we'd get the desired effect.

There are probably a hundred other ways. Sadly, this patch isn't one of them.

Makes sense to me.

My pleasure. Sorry the other news wasn't better.
