[oe] SVN fetcher behaviour

[Martyn Welch]

Hello,

I have just tried to build "task-base" for machine=x86, distro=generic.

It is failing to download gconf-dbus using "gconf-dbus_svn.bb". It seems
that the script does not specify a revision and it therefore trying to
download revision 1. This fails.

I have managed to get the script to continue buy hacking the script to
get it to download the current revision (608), by adding "rev=608" to
the SRC_URI.

I've looked at
http://www.openembedded.org/user-manual&dpage=src_uri_variable, which
(under "SVN") describes the behaviour of the svn fetcher. This doesn't
seem to specify what the default behaviour of the svn fetcher is when no
revision is specified, I'd assumed it would be the "head", though I am
now having some doubt.

Martyn
