[Cdash] Fwd: svn update problem

[Rick Gould]

We've seen a similar problem, where the following error was not
reported to the dashboard:

   Old revision of repository is: 13812
Determine Nightly Start Time
   Specified time: 00:00:00 PST
   New revision of repository is: 13812
   Gathering version information (one . per revision):

   Update command failed: "/usr/bin/svn" "update" "--non-interactive"
"-r{2010-01-05 08:00:00 +0000}"


(In our case, the underlying cause of the failed update was a hostname
mis-match.)

As to why the error didn't get to the dashboard, I had looked into
this a bit, and came to the tentative conclusion that CTest was
probably not catching stderr.  (I wanted to look into this more before
posting/filing a bug report, but hadn't gotten back to it.)

If you get a bug report filed, I can add my info. to it as well.

Cheers,

 - Rick Gould
