Does "svnlook propget" work?

Question

Okay take a look at the following:

1: $ svnlook changed -r2 svn_repos/           
_U  trunk/
2: $ svnlook proplist -r2 -v svn_repos/ trunk 
  foo : bar
3: $ svnlook propget -r2 svn_repos/ foo trunk
4: $ svnlook propget -r2 svn_repos/ fooo trunk
svnlook: Property 'fooo' not found on path 'trunk' in revision 2
5: $ 

I'm using the svnlook command and seem to have a problem. Line #1 shows that there's a property change on trunk. Line #2 shows that there's a property called foo with a value of bar. I did this via ths svnlook proplist command. Okay, so far so good.

Line #3 shows the results of a propget on property foo. It returns nothing. If I mispell the name like I did on line #4, it tells me the property isn't found.

My understanding is that svnlook propget is suppose to print the value of the property much like svn propget does. In fact:

$ svn propget -r2 foo file://$PWD/svn_repos/trunk 
bar

Does exactly what I think it should.

Am I missing something. Did I do something wrong. Or is there an issue with the svnlook command?

I need this for a Subversion hook, so using svn instead of svnlook is not a possibility.

Answer 1

Found the issue. It's what my friends in Customer Service call a Code ID: "Ten-T".

david@DaveBook:~david
$ svnlook propget -r2 svn_repos/ foo trunk
bardavid@DaveBook:~david
$

Look at the third line: There it is: The bar in front of the david in my prompt.

I removed the line with the overly complex prompts when I posted it here.

do you need to include the repository path as opposed to just the -r switch? http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.ref.svnlook.c.propget.html
