SVNAdmin Verify sends output to stderr

[Tom Fritchey <tj...@mindspring.com>]

All, 

I'm observing svnadmin verify sending output to stderr even when there are no errors and the exit code is success (0).  Would someone please confirm this behavior?  I am running svnadmin.exe v1.5.4.33841 under Windows XP Pro SP2.  Furthermore, is this a bug (reoccurrence of issue 1997?) or is this behavior intentional?

Thanks, 
-Tom

RE: SVNAdmin Verify sends output to stderr

[bl...@reality.earth.sol.mway.universe.net]

ran into this today myself and noticed your post and an almost identical one a few years back, both without replies.

i have begun dealing with it by folding stderr into the same stream as stdout: msh supports the same hacky syntax that unix shells use: 2>&1 (i guess 2> means redirect stderr and &1 is magic which means stdout).

this has led to messiness in the output stream, well intended, no doubt. :)

e.g. "* Revision 0 verifiziert." expands to:

svnadmin.exe : * Revision 0 verifiziert.
At E:\Svn\maint_scripts\CopySvnHotcopyToLocalAndVerify.ps1:37 char:10
+     svnadmin  <<<< verify ${dest} 2>&1 | Out-File ${verifyLog}

but presumably there is magic to deal with this as well. (perhaps it is a side-effect of stderr and stdout being object (rather than character) streams in powershell, and the moment i stringify them naively i get "useful stuff" i might otherwise lose.

cheers,

Tim
