svn trunk question

Hi,

I'm currently using Python 2.5.2 (no new packages for slackware
yet) and have the latest trunk revision, which when compiled
gives me 1.7.0. (Compiled from the dev trunk + installed
at /usr/local.)

Under the aforementioned condition, change-svn-wc-format.py
is broken because of the 'as' syntax with the except syntax.

  File "tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py", line 93
     except UnrecognizedWCFormatException as e:
                                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I don't understand this since by the v2.5 "what's new" at
the Python.org site, the "as" syntax should be
available, or did I misunderstand by 'available' it isn't
available until a much later release in the v2.5 tree?

Anyway, let us assume that I patched the python script to
use the comma instead of the 'as' keyword. I run it with
"1.5" as the version. It chokes because of a missing
folder. So I give up and log in as root and do a 'svn
cleanup' and 'svn update'. Nope. 'svn update' tells
me to run 'svn cleanup'. The same issue that cropped
up before. Up to now, I get the feeling I might have screwed
up my dev_tree so I rm -rf * the whole thing so I can
svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk again.

Unfortunately, this no longer works.

svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk

produces the following error:

svn: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk'

Now I can't check out anything using the built binaries from
the trunk. (I hope I'm making sense here. I'm a little
under the weather so my thought processes are little hindered.)

At this point, the only thing I can do is download the 1.6.1
source and reinstall from that to get the latest trunk.

Is what I experienced a bug or did I fubar something that
I shouldn't have?

Any clarifications appreciated.

Edmund
