I am suggesting that --no-newline should be replaced by --strict. Is it harder to understand when used with 'info' than it is when used with 'propget'? It seems odd for different sub-commands to use different names for what is essentially the same option. 'svn youngest' is not a precedent for using --no-newline in 'svn' as it was never released. 'svnversion' does use '--no-newline' but it is not 'svn' and it also has '-c' that conflicts with 'svn'. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
