error message

                 Key: HADOOP-3975
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3975
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build
            Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala
            Priority: Minor


When test-patch is run on a developer workspace which contains modifications, 
it errors out by saying "ERROR: can't run in a workspace that contains 
modifications". It appears this is printed when svn stat command returns a 
non-empty output. It would be helpful to report this output, so that developers 
can be alerted to what modifications are causing this error. Sometimes these 
modifications may not be because of a direct code change they've done, but 
remnants of an incorrect cleanup of the last build, etc.
