[svk-devel] Non-interactive use of "svk info"

[Adam D. Barratt]

Hi,

I'm invesigating Debian bug #420899 (http://bugs.debian.org/420899) which 
relates to the non-interactive use of "svk info".

The script in question attempts to automagically determine whether it is 
being called from within a VCS managed directory. In the case of svk, it 
calls "svk info ." and parses the output. Unfortunately, if the directory 
/isn't/ an SVK checkout, a prompt is raised as to whether ~/.svk/local 
should be created which causes the script to hang until the user kills the 
SVK process.

Is it possible to call "svk info" from outside a checkout location without 
having the prompt raised? Alternatively, is there a more useful means of 
determining whether a directory is part of an svk checkout without any 
interactive prompts being raised?

Regards,

Adam
