comments in option specifications in config file
Hi,
I just set up ~/.subversion/config file to contain the following:
[helpers]
editor-cmd = gnuclient #editor (vi, emacs, notepad, etc.)
which causes commits to fail rather badly (the # comments out the name
of the file containing the commit message).
I imagine that putting comments in option values is not allowed, but I
can't find anywhere that says that :-) Does it need to be explicitly
stated somewhere (or disallowed by the code)?
Robert
PS I'm using svn rev 4856
PPS I also can't find any documentation on continuation lines in the
config file. It's easy enough to figure out from the code, but
perhaps it should be documented.

My bad, I was looking in the source, and forgot to look there.

The format of the config files, including comments and continuation
lines, is described in ~/.subversion/README.

I wish people took the trouble to at least look at what they have on the
disk before asking such questions...
