Well, I'm not directly using a shell, and thus am not certain which
shell is being used. I'm using a perl script that someone else wrote,
and it is issuing the svn command through a perl mechanism. This is
happening on a windows machine, and the perl script itself is being run
via bash, but I don't know what perl itself on a windows box will exec
when running a shell command. Quite likely it is running cmd.exe. If I
find out more, I will post the info.
