Comment(by jkeenan):
I recall that we encountered problems like this one or two years ago when
SVK was the shiny new thing in VCSes, a role in which git has since
usurped it. It's also not surprising given that when
''tools/dev/mk_gitignore.pl'' was added to the repository, no unit tests
were added to those run by ''make manifest_tests''. (See attached
coverage report for ''make manifest_tests''.
Examining the code in ''lib/Parrot/Manifest.pm'', I believe the line
causing the problem is:
{{{
cmd => -d '.svn' ? 'svn' : 'svk',
}}}
So, if you don't have a ''.svn'' hidden directory underneath the top level
of your sandbox, you're assumed to be running SVK instead of Subversion.
My hunch is that you don't have such a ''.svn'' hidden directory in that
location and, if you're running git, don't need one. But you don't have
SVK installed either; hence the failures.
I'm not running git, so I don't know what an appropriate revision to
''lib/Parrot/Manifest.pm'' and the tests in ''t/manifest/*.t'' would be.
François, could you, Barney or one of the other git advocates develop a
patch? I would be happy to work with you toward getting this working for
you.
Thank you very much[[BR]]
