Description ulfzibis 2006-07-06 14:35:52 UTC
There should be an explicit unmistakable error message than throwing an
Exception, when SubVersion >= 1.3.x is not installed !!

There should also be an explicit unmistakable error message, when existing
working copy was not checked out by svn >= 1.3.x, and give an advice doing this
newly !!
Comment 1 ulfzibis 2006-07-07 12:15:07 UTC
There should also be an explicit unmistakable error message, when existing
svn client is configured to another locale than english, and give an advice how
to change this.

SubVersion's doc says:
The Subversion client, svn, honors the current locale configuration in two ways.
First, it notices the value of the LC_MESSAGES variable and attempts to print
all messages in the specified language.

There is no hint, how to determine another language than system's default.
My workaround is: rename "{SVN_HOME}\share\locale\de" to
"{SVN_HOME}\share\locale\de.bak"

Comment 2 Tomas Stupka 2006-07-07 13:12:49 UTC
how about set LC_MESSAGES=en
Comment 3 ulfzibis 2006-07-07 16:22:42 UTC
1. According to http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.advanced.l10n.html, 
LC_MESSAGES is only valid on Unix. I have german Windows.

2. LC_MESSAGES=en would set _all_ messages of _all_ programs on this computer to
english, if I understand right.
Who wants all messages on his computer in english, if he has installed a special
localized OS ?

1.) What's about:
"There should be an explicit unmistakable error message than throwing an Exception, when SubVersion >= 1.3.x is not
installed !!"
Is it now fixed ?

2.) What's about:
"There should also be an explicit unmistakable error message, when existing working copy was not checked out by svn >=
1.3.x, and give an advice doing this newly !!"
Is it now fixed ?

Comment 8 Tomas Stupka 2007-11-06 18:56:24 UTC
fixed. see issue #86674

what's the problem? have you been able to reproduce?
Comment 9 ulfzibis 2007-11-06 19:43:45 UTC
Ah, I see, this issue was fixed in the duplicate issue #86674.
Here in _this_ original issue only the localization part was mentioned as fixed, but not the main subject.

I haven't tried to reproduce it, as it requires to uninstall the old svn.
So I believe, that it will be fixed now.
