telnet into svn

[Timothy Smith <ti...@open-networks.net>]

is it possible to just telnet into svn and issue commands to update from 
a respositry?
i currently have a problem with pysvn where won't load on win98 
machines, and since i only use it for it's update command, i might be 
able to worm out of it if i can just terminal into the svn port and 
achieve the same thing.

No.  There is an awful lot of client side code involved with updating a 
working copy.  For example, you need to tell the server what versions of 
everything you currently have, then it sends back a diff, much of which 
is in a binary format.  This diff needs to be applied to the working 
copy files in a particular way...  It goes on and on.  If you want to 
update a working copy you really need to use a the Subversion libraries, 
either via pysvn or the svn command line.
