swallow_water.util.get_version_info doesn't work in Linux

[nick]

I have put an "if" statement to stop the error msg when running the tests on Linux

def test_get_version_info(self):

if sys.platform == 'win32':

info = get_version_info() assert info.startswith('Revision')

this should be fixed in the future

I have removed this again (changeset:4157) as the problem is not Linux per se, rather possibly something todo with a particular platform or user profile. Could someone please provide info about where the test failed?

The underlying problem was that svn was aliased on cyclone. It must be on the system path for this command to work.
