Here is a patch that attempts to fix issue #3014.
In the issue, Julian suggests that there should be a policy as to when
svn should and should not report errors on broken pipes.
I think that would complicate things too much.
So this patch takes a much simpler approach (see log message).
Does anyone see problems with this approach?
It's a bit hackish, but works.
This patch touches everything expect svnrdump, for now.
[[[
Fix issue #3014 "svn log | head" should not print "Write error: Broken pipe".
Make svn and other commands to exit silently if a pipe write error occured.
The rationale being that the process closing the pipe is also responsible
for printing a related error message, if necessary.
* subversion/libsvn_subr/cmdline.c
(svn_cmdline_fputs, svn_cmdline_fflush): Return
SVN_ERR_IO_PIPE_WRITE_ERROR when writes fail due to EPIPE, so that
callers can choose to ignore this kind of error.
(svn_cmdline_handle_exit_error): Don't print message for pipe write errors.
* subversion/libsvn_subr/opt.c
(svn_opt_print_generic_help2): Don't print message for pipe write errors.
* subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c
(do_io_file_wrapper_cleanup): Same.
* subversion/svn/notify.c
(notify): Same.
* subversion/svn/main.c
(main): Same.
* subversion/svn/obliterate-cmd.c
(notify): Same.
* subversion/svnadmin/main.c
(main): Same.
* subversion/include/svn_error_codes.h
(SVN_ERR_IO_PIPE_WRITE_ERROR): New error code.
