build script - pre-check for path existence

[allan juul <la...@inet.uni2.dk>]

hi

in our build script we need to create paths on the server that sometimes 
does exist already and sometimes does not.


currently our script will do a 'svn mkdir' for each directory at the time

code ex
##############
my @intermediate = split ( /\//, "/path/to/unknown/place" );

my $tmp_str = "";
foreach my $dir ( @intermediate ) {
   $tmp_str .= "$dir/";

   `svn mkdir $repository_url/$tmp_str -m \"Adding dir\""`;
}

#############

it's ugly but in fact, that always works - but it also gets annoying 
when the path already exist, because then we get warning messages like:

svn: MKCOL of /svn/!svn/wrk/879aa23b-1ded-0310-acf7-e64a4ce5e0b7/ ...
405 Method Not Allowed (http://example.com


is there a way to check/preview the repository from a client's perspective ?
