Re: Problem with scripted SVN output

I'm trying to trace the problem back in svn. I extensively tested the
program with other executables and only svn doesn't return the values.

So I looked in the svn repository and came as close as this:
http://svn.collab.net/viewcvs/svn/trunk/subversion/libsvn_subr/cmdline.c?view=markup

My C knowledge is quite limited, I see that messages are written to
STDOUT. Can anyone tell me what this means? I'm trying to read into the
problem and I see that output can be redirected to the active window
(browser?) with 'command > /dev/tty'. Is this what I need to change to
the code to make it work for me?

I read about other people using the exec() functions in php to access
the svn executables, so it doesn't seem really necessary to me. It
sounds as some local problem, which is expressed by svn.

Any Ideas?
