Turns out that it is rather hard for me to get Subversion's tests to even run with Unit::Test 2.3.0. They run fine with 1.2.3, which is the version shipped with ruby 1.8. But I don't want to import the old 1.2.3 version into the ports tree. Let's shelve this for now unless you see immediate use for it. We can revisit this once Subversion (or something else) requires ruby 1.9 and also requires something from Test::Unit that minitest doesn't provide. >From the looks of it Subversion will be sticking to ruby 1.8 for a while.
