No worries, I got it. :-)
Most trivial idea: ${changenumber} expands to a value that ends with a
new-line or a cariage-return new-line sequence.
This guess is correct, and it turns out that it's a subversion
problem, not an Ant or platform issue. The problem is that
'svnversion -n .' is returning a value that contains a newline when
the directory whose version you are getting is 'exported,' when it
should not be adding a newline. (FWIW, i think the problem is at
svnversion's main.c, line 287.) This output, recorded to a file using
the output attribute of an Ant <exec> task, is then read back in to a
property using Ant's <loadfile> task. Ant diligently includes the
newline as a part of the property read in from the file, which I'm
sure is correct behavior on the part of Ant. Go Ant! :-D When the
property is later added to the manifest, it includes the newline,
which causes the manifest to be invalid.
I'll need to follow up with the subversion folks. Thanks for all the
help from the gumpers!
