[Subclipse-users] subant / svn info not working

Hello there!

I'm using svnant 1.1.0-RC2 with Ant 1.6.5/Subclipse 1.2.0 under
Eclipse 3.2.2 on Windows XP.

I'm trying to use the "info" task with svnant 1.1.0-RC2, and it's
driving me crazy.
Maybe it's not stable yet, or I'm doing things completely wrong.

Here are my various problems:

* I want to retrieve the same info as :
----------
> svn info http://brasvn001/svn/itgdd/CRT/tags/VERSION_4_0_4
Path: VERSION_4_0_4
URL: http://brasvn001/svn/itgdd/CRT/tags/VERSION_4_0_4
Repository Root: http://brasvn001/svn/itgdd
Repository UUID: ed9c224c-dcc1-4141-8fe6-f4e495f17ab7
Revision: 7277
Node Kind: directory
Last Changed Author: E110809
Last Changed Rev: 7271
Last Changed Date: 2007-06-13 17:00:09 +0200 (Wed, 13 Jun 2007)
----------

* 1st try
In my ant task:
----------
    <echo>Get svn info for '${svn.url}'</echo>
    <svn><info target="${svn.url}"/></svn>
    <echo>${svn.info.lastRev}</echo>
->
     [echo] Get svn info for 'http://brasvn001/svn/itgdd/CRT/tags/VERSION_4_0_4'
      [svn] <Info> started ...
      [svn] <Info> failed !

BUILD FAILED
C:\SandBox\CRT\v4\trunk\src\build.xml:482: Failed to set 'info' properties
----------
Reading the doc again it seems that svnant tasks accept only a working
directory as argument, not a URL, on the contrary to the command line.
What a pity!

* 2nd try
----------
    <svn><checkout url="${svn.url}" destPath="${build.path}/svnroot"
recurse="false"/></svn>
    <svn><info target="${build.path}/svnroot/."/></svn>
->
      [svn] <Checkout> started ...
      [svn] <Checkout> finished.
      [svn] <Info> started ...
      [svn] Path is not a working copy directory
      [svn] svn: 'tmp\buildCRT' is not a working copy
      [svn] The system cannot find the path specified.
      [svn] svn: Can't open file 'tmp\buildCRT\.svn\entries': The
system cannot find the path specified.
      [svn] <Info> failed !
----------
Wow! Very strange. Of course "tmp\buildCRT" is nto a working copy, but
it's not what I asked. What I asked is "tmp/buildCRT/svnroot/.". It
seems it's screwing up its argument.

* 3rd try
Let's try something crazy too:
----------
    <svn><checkout url="${svn.url}" destPath="${build.path}/svnroot"
recurse="false"/></svn>
    <svn><info target="${build.path}/svnroot/notexists/." verbose="true"/></svn>
->
      [svn] <Checkout> started ...
      [svn] <Checkout> finished.
      [svn] <Info> started ...
      [svn] Path is not a working copy directory
      [svn] svn: 'tmp\buildCRT\svnroot' is not a working copy
      [svn] The system cannot find the path specified.
      [svn] svn: Can't open file 'tmp\buildCRT\svnroot\.svn\entries':
The system cannot find the path specified.
      [svn] <Info> failed !
----------
Well, this thing has some problem, since:
    <exec command="ls.exe -l ${build.path}/svnroot/.svn/entries"/>
->
     [exec] -r--r--r-- 1 E110809 0 480 2007-06-14 10:10
tmp\buildCRT/svnroot/.svn/entries
!!

* Conclusions

1/ Could anyone confirm that svnant svn info does not take URL as argument?
Are there plans to implement it in a near future?
2/ Why is the task not finding the working directory when I give a
target, while it is working OK when I do the following:
    <svn><info target="." verbose="true"/></svn>
? How should I specify my target? Maybe there is something that I've
missed in the doc.
3/ Does anybody know another way of finding the latest revision with svnant.
