Re: why svn 1.5.x libs bundled into windows installer?

 

I believe I run into an issue related to this too. "bzr init" failed
claiming that I was using an incorrect version of subversion. Since I
didn't want to do anything related to svn  I just removed the bzr-svn
plug-ins and was able to run "bzr init" successfully.

I'm not sure if there is a better way. I don’t even understand why bzr
was trying to do any subversion stuff since I didn’t ask for anything
(but then I don't have a clue what bzr-svn does).

Basically I had:
/svn-versionned-sandbox/.svn/
/svn-versionned-sandbox/tools/
/svn-versionned-sandbox/tools/myproject/

Directory "myproject" is not versioned in svn. In directory
"myproject" I run "bzr init" which failed claiming I was using an
incorrect version of subversion.

The sandbox was using svn 1.6 (I'm not sure what the new features were
but the build/patch management team adopted it fairly quickly. It
seems to have helpful features for branch/tagging/merge...)

It would be nice if the install indicated the supported svn version:
this way the user would know that it is useless to install this
plug-ins.
