Apparently, "gcl try" over svn requires svn 1.5. "gcl try" also works over http. In fact, I think http is the default - but only if you can see the try http server. You may not be able to. The try svn server is more accessible. According to "gcl help try," --use_http, --host, --port, and --proxy can be used to control access over HTTP. We don't require svn 1.5 in most cases, we want our tools to be compatible with the svn that most people are using, which on Leopard systems is 1.4. I'm not sure if it would be easy to make try server svn access work without --depth.
