Is this a packaging oversight or a deliberate decision?It was an explicit decision by me, the package maintainer. The 1.7 release series had an svn-bisect that I grabbed from Debian. It is not part of the official Subversion repository. In 1.8, Subversion upstream decided to remove many of the contributed tools from their repository. I decided at the same time to drop svn-bisect and a few other tools from Debian because Debian does not have 1.8 and it felt to me like svn-bisect should be a separate package.
I took a brief look at this. For the record, there are two completely different scripts called svn-bisect, depending on which Linux distro you use. The script mentioned above is a shell script found in Debian / Ubuntu. The entire script is patched in during the subversion build process, and it is packaged in Debian's 'subversion-tools'.
Fedora / Centos have a perl script (also called svn-bisect) coming from the App-SVN-Bisect perl module. The script is in its own package, also called 'svn-bisect'. This won't run in Cygwin as things stand, as a number of dependent perl modules are missing.
The two scripts perform the same function, and the calling syntax is /nearly/ the same...
