The other failure is not a parser bug as I speculated, but an interesting real difference. svnmucc_tests.py 2 'basic svnmucc tests' generates a no-op modification to an empty file, in revision 16. 'svnadmin dump' outputs this: [[[ I: Node-path: boozle/buz/svnmucc-test.py I: Node-kind: file I: Node-action: change I: I: ]]] whereas 'svnrdump dump' outputs this: [[[ I: Node-path: boozle/buz/svnmucc-test.py I: Node-kind: file I: Node-action: change I: Text-delta: true I: Text-delta-base-md5: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e I: Text-content-length: 4 I: Text-content-md5: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e I: Content-length: 4 I: I: SVN I: ]]] - Julian
