If instead of using «echo test > file» you would use the existing file 'iota' (see subversion/tests/README), you'd be able to pass read_only=True to sbox.build(), which avoids some test suite overhead in setting a dedicated repository for each test function — i.e., makes tests run half a millisecond faster. ☺ Cheers, Daniel
