python: src/python-2.5.1c1/Python/sysmodule.c:1000: svnversion_init: Assertion `len >= 13' failed.

I see these assertions were added here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-checkins/2006-October/057079.html

Given the form of the subversion headurl string, the assertion doesn't appear to me at first glance to be valid.

Neal, can you take a look? The assert really does not make sense to me. How did you arrive at 13?

Unfortunately I don't recall.  Looking at the code, my guess is that I added the assertion into the wrong code block.  The next code block down requires len >= 13.  I'll move it on head, shall I remove it for 2.5.1, then add it back in the proper place for 2.5.2?

Anthony agreed that the assert should be removed for 2.5.1.

Committed revision 54836. (2.5) - Remove the 2 assertions.

I still need to fix up head.  I also noticed I botched the second assert.  - should be +.  I'll test this and verify the fix before fixing head.

Committed revision 54841. (trunk)

I think I'll just leave this out of 2.5 given how badly I botched this the first time.

I did test this and ensure that both branches worked this time.  For the first block, I triggered istag by adding tag to the headurl.  For the second block I #undef SVNVERSION in Modules/getbuildinfo.c to verify the exported version works too.
