Hi Phil,

It costs even less (time) to use the Subversion cmdline test framework
A single Python expression creates a generic test repo and checks out
a working copy for you. Other framework classes handle running svn
commands and comparing the results to your expectations.

See http://subversion.tigris.org/hacking.html#automated-tests for
more info.

If you write a test that reproduces a Subversion bug (a new one or an
existing bug report that has no test yet), by all means submit it to
the dev-list as a patch.
