As is actually a common pitfall, I have added a little more emphasis
(and example) about the need to be in the tests/cmdline/ directory.

you are right about the makefile, and in fact about the './' usage, as the README
resides inside subversion/tests/cmdline. But what about the usages like
subversion/tests/cmdline/basic_tests.py 1 ? Not every use of such path mentions that the cmd has
to be executed from the top level dir of the source tree (tho it is obvious, it is ambiguous when seen in context with the './' using examples.)

Is it really necessary to be explicit about this? If you're running
./basic_tests.py then by definition you must be in the
subversion/tests/cmdline directory, and to run make you have to be in
the base directory because that's where the makefile is...
