editor: work around svn 1.7 closing the output fp in apply_textdelta() Calling close() on the output cStringIO when done with patching prevents us to retrieve the result with getvalue(). Note: I found this bug has been fixed already by 794f3e41ec1e. I feel ignoring the close() call is a little cleaner than storing the value before the handler() call for there is no guarantee the handler does not modify the value in its last call. Looking at text_delta.c, it does not in 1.7.1. So, do what you want with this patch.

#!/bin/sh
mkdir temp || exit 1
cd temp
svnadmin create repo
svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
pushd wc
mkdir -p project/trunk
svn add project
svn ci -m 'trunk'
cd project/trunk
echo a > a
mkdir narf
svn add a narf
svn ci -m 'file and empty dir'
popd
svnadmin dump repo > ../empty_dir_in_trunk_not_repo_root.svndump
echo 'dump in empty_dir_in_trunk_not_repo_root.svndump'
echo 'you can probably delete temp now'
