9501	JOSM build failed with SVN	Andre68	team	"I'm fetching JOSM by SVN and currently cannot compile the latest JOSM on a Ubuntu system.

Besides a long list of warnings I believe the relevant part is the following:

{{{
init-svn-revision-xml:

init-git-revision-xml:
     [exec] Result: 128

create-revision:
[xmlproperty] [Fatal Error] REVISION.XML:1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.

BUILD FAILED
/home/andi/Projekte/osm/josm/build.xml:74: Failed to load /home/andi/Projekte/osm/josm/REVISION.XML
}}}


The file REVISION.XML contains the following:

{{{
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
}}}

I'm not an ant expert. I believe that ant tries to execute 'LANG=""C"" svn info --xml .' which gives the following output on my system:

{{{
<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>
<info>
<entry
   kind=""dir""
   path="".""

}}}

This looks fine to me and the error code is 0.

File state of REVISION.XML is -rw-r--r-- which should also be fine.

So why does ant afterwards try to run git?
