Subversion book time range

[Ed Smiley <es...@stanford.edu>]

The documentation on quoting dates in revision ranges appears to be 
incomplete, as you need to quote outside the brackets in the Windows 
command processor.
I apologize if it is in the book somewhere, but I didn't see it.

Easiest way to demonstrate is on the same machine from inside cygwin 
(emulating Xix environment)
(WORKS)
esmiley@esmiley ~/svn/trunk/sakai/sam/src/org/sakaiproject
$ svn log -r 607:{2005-07-18T04:00Z}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r607 | esmiley@stanford.edu | 2005-07-13 16:11:08 -0700 (Wed, 13 Jul 
2005) | 1 line

fixed compilation error....
etc. ....
Then change to CMD:

$ cmd
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\cygwin\home\esmiley\svn\trunk\sakai\sam\src\org\sakaiproject>svn log 
-r 607:{2005-07-18T04:00Z}
svn: Syntax error in revision argument '607:2005-07-18T04:00Z'

BUT------------NOW IT WORKS
C:\cygwin\home\esmiley\svn\trunk\sakai\sam\src\org\sakaiproject>svn log 
-r 607:"{2005-07-18T04:00Z}"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r607 | esmiley@stanford.edu | 2005-07-13 16:11:08 -0700 (Wed, 13 Jul 
2005) | 1 line

fixed compilation error.....
