This was fixed in pysvn by rewriting that code, which seems pretty amazing, but could be considered a canonical way.
http://pysvn.tigris.org/source/browse/pysvn/trunk/pysvn/Extension/Source/pysvn_client_cmd_info.cpp?r1=1601&r2=1600&pathrev=1601 And I *think* this is how it was fixed in kdevelop: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124783/diff/1#index_header ... according to this post: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.kdevelop/41420 Jonas, can you take a look at this? I think this is a little beyond what I can do as the Debian package maintainer in the short term.. :) (If this is not fixed, Pepper will be taken out of Debian stretch, the next stable release, unfortunately.)
