broken pipe error for truncated output of svn log

[lars <li...@sumpfralle.de>]

Hi,

I am using subversion (1.1.4) on debian.

If I use the command "svn log | head", then the the log is followed by this error message:

svn: Write error: Broken pipe


This does not always happen, but in most cases: maybe 4 errors out of 5 tries. (with the
same repository)

Without the head-pipe there is never a warning.

Same here in Subversion 1.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.1 (installed from  
DarwinPorts). I've been assuming it just means that Subversion has  
more data to deliver, but the pipe through which Subversion has been  
sending the information to another process has been closed before it  
was done sending, so I've just been ignoring it. But I suppose it  
would be reasonable for Subversion to not show that error. I don't  
know any other program that complains about this.
