piston convert syntax error

[jcm]

Hi,

Still using svn here for projects. I need to add some plugins from
github, so I try piston to replace my old svn:externals.

$ gem install piston
$ piston convert vendor/plugins
/opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load': syntax error on line

Hi,

Normally, SVN returns data that is mostly YAML-like. In your cas,
there's something about that svn:externals that isn't right and makes
YAML choke when trying to read the data back in.

Maybe I should move away from YAML and write my own parser.

What do you think?

Bye!
