svnversion does not output to stdout

Running the build of svnversion which is installed with TortoiseSVN does not send output to stdout. As a result, build tools such as msbuild cannot read the Subversion revision number.

This can be reproduced by the following PowerShell script (arguments need to be changed for your system):

#-----begin script----#

$pinfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
$pinfo.FileName = "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\svnversion.exe"
$pinfo.Arguments = "--no-newline `"C:/svn/tortoisesvn`""
$pinfo.RedirectStandardError = $true
$pinfo.RedirectStandardOutput = $true
$pinfo.UseShellExecute = $false
$p = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process
$p.StartInfo = $pinfo
$p.Start() | Out-Null
$p.WaitForExit()
$stderr = $p.StandardError.ReadToEnd()
$stdout = $p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
Write-Host "stdout: $stdout"
Write-Host "stderr: $stderr"
Write-Host "exit code: " + $p.ExitCode

#-----end script----#

No information is sent to stdout. The expected behavior is that the revision number is output to stdout.

Changing the location of svnversion.exe from "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\" to another distribution, for example "C:\Program Files\SlikSVN\bin\", results in the expected behavior.

Thank you for looking into this!
