I haven't completely sorted through the above issues, but here's a somewhat refactored module and two test files. Because of issues discussed in RT 48070, I'm suggesting the use of IO::CaptureOutput rather than Parrot::IO::Capture::Mini for capturing verbose output. I've enclosed the relevant tes

Hey, I believe I've found it. There was an update to lib/Parrot/Revision.pm (#23179) to add "--xml" to the snv info request used to get the current Parrot checkedout revision. However, on svn v1.2 (1.2.1) that fails and you get a revision of zero which nobody likes. So, while upgrading svn
