I hope I am following the letter and spirit of the bug-reporting instructions
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_issues.html correctly here.
There is a minor quoting issue in the shell script in
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/svnsync.txt which this patch
attempts to fix. Basically, the backslash-escaping of shell variables in a
single-quoted here document is hypercorrect (fancy word for "wrong"). I suspect
the single quotes were added later without adjusting the rest of the script.
Do I still need to report this as a bug once somebody confirms, or is this
sufficient?
