test_util: remove self.repo_path, generate new paths each time
This solves a problem with startrev tests sporadically failing in ra.get_log()
with some kind of svn corruption error. Loading each svn repository in a
different place solved that, or at least prevented me from reproducing it. What
is interesting is this is the same fixture being loaded each time. Also, before
loading the fixture, we take care of removing an existing repository. Loading
with the same options twice also failed reproducing the issue. Same thing if
the first load only load the svn repository but does not convert it.
So, I have absolutely no idea what was wrong, blame python subprocess,
subversion or some kind of filesystem write ordering bug.

.. -*-restructuredtext-*- ============ hgsubversion ============ hgsubversion is an extension for Mercurial that allows using Mercurial as a Subversion client. At this point, hgsubversion is usable by users reasonably familiar with Mercurial as a VCS. It's not recommended to dive into hgsubversion as an introduction to Mercurial, since hgsubversion "bends the rules" a little and violates some of the typical assumptions of early Mercurial users. Installation ------------ You need to have either have Subversion 1.5 (or later) installed along with either Subvertpy 0.7.4 (or later) or the Subversion SWIG Python bindings. You need Mercurial 1.3 or later. .. _mercurial: http://selenic.com/repo/hg .. _mercurial-stable: http://selenic.com/repo/hg-stable .. _crew: http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew .. _crew-stable: http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew-stable If you are unfamiliar with installing Mercurial extensions, please see the UsingExtensions_ page in the Mercurial wiki. Look at the example for specifying an absolute path near the bottom of the page. You want to give the path to the top level of your clone of this repository. .. _UsingExtensions: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/UsingExtensions Before using hgsubversion, I *strongly* encourage you to run the automated tests. Just use nose_ if you have it (or ``easy_install nose`` if you want it), or use ``python tests/run.py`` to run the suite with the conventional test runner. Note that because I use nose, there's a lot of stdout spew in the tests right now. The important part is that all the tests pass. .. _nose: http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/ You can check that hgsubversion is installed and properly activated using the following command:: $ hg version --svn Mercurial Distributed SCM (version ...)
