What revision was your laptop at before the update? It could help a lot to know the earliest revision at which this fails.

[Brett]

No clue. I had not updated my local version in quite some time since most of my dev as of late has been at work.

A good clue is to look at the "Revsion: NNNNN" line from "svn info" output executed from the root of your checkout. Or if you have the Python executable handy:

import sys sys.subversion ('CPython', 'trunk', '46762')

No, I'm not making that up!

... Doing a binary search under SVN should be very easy, given that a revision number identifies the entire state of the repository.

That would be handy. Question is do we just want a progressive backtrack or an actual binary search that goes back a set number of revisions and then begins to creep back up in rev. numbers when it realizes it has gone back too far.

What we really want to do is solve the problem. If we're going to tie up my machine doing it, I want as few builds as theoretically possible. If we're going to tie up your machine, it's fine by me if it goes back one checkin at a time until 1991 :-)
