Hi Philip, Stefan,
Thanks for the info, the svn we are using is from cygwin tool, and we did
not compile any svn exclusively, it has just been a download and install
process. Can you point me more to MAGIC environment variable setting to an
empty file?, like how to do it?.
This is important for us, because users around the world have not yet
completely shifted to 1.7, but once they shift or for new comers, we have
to fix the script to take care of this issue, so can u please tell us how
and where to find this MAGIC env var and how could it be set?.
Thanks in anticipation.
