That did the trick, thanks. For your entertainment, here's how the test koad generator now looks: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## General test load for ancestry-chasing logic dump=no verbose=null while getopts dv opt do case $opt in d) dump=yes;; v) verbose=stdout;; esac done trap 'rm -fr test-repo test-checkout' 0 1 2 15 svnaction () { filename=$1 content=$2 comment=$3 if [ ! -f $filename ] then if [ ! -d `dirname $filename` ] then mkdir `dirname $filename` svn add `dirname $filename` fi echo "$content" >$filename svn add $filename else echo "$content" >$filename fi svn commit -m "$comment" $filename } { set -e make svn-branchy cd test-checkout # Content operations start here svnaction "trunk/foo.txt" "Now is the time." "More example content" svnaction "trunk/bar.txt" "For all good men." "Example content in different file" svnaction "trunk/baz.txt" "to come to the aid of their country." "And in yet another file" svn up # Without this, the next copy does file copies. With it, a directory copy. svn copy trunk branches/stable svn commit -m "First directory copy" svnaction "trunk/foo.txt" "Whether tis nobler in the mind." "Hamlet the Dane said this" svnaction "trunk/bar.txt" "or to take arms against a sea of troubles" "He continued" svnaction "trunk/baz.txt" "and by opposing end them" "The build-up" svnaction "trunk/foo.txt" "to be," "Famous soliloquy begins" svnaction "branches/foo.txt" "or not to be." "And continues" svn up svn copy trunk tags/1.0 svn commit -m "First tag copy" # We're done cd .. } >/dev/$verbose 2>&1 if [ "$dump" = yes ] then svnadmin dump -q test-repo fi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will get longer and include the most perverse combinations of deletes and copies I can dream up. The point, of course, is to torture-test my Subversion dump analyzer. I have a fairly nice gallmaufry of static stream dumps I've gathered or made by hand over the years; being able to generate them easily will be helpful. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S.
