cat_tests.py 5 failing because of double-escaped path in expected error message

[Johan Corveleyn <jc...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Currently (trunk@1068411), cat_tests.py 5 (cat should skip uncattable
resources) is failing on my machine (Windows XP). There seems to be
some double-escaping of the path in the expected error message. I
don't understand why this only happens on my machine, and not for
instance on the Windows buildbots.

Anyone have an idea?

See fail.log in attachment, and some relevant excerpt below:

EXCEPTION: Failure: Cat failed: expected error "svn: warning: W195007:

The escaping is because the "expected" string is a RegEx whereas the
"received" string is not, so that in itself is not the reason for the
mismatch.

Maybe there's an EOL style difference or some other minor difference
that's hard to see.
