Check that an svn repository url does not exist

Question

I am writing a script which will add a new project in the repository, based on the name supplied by the user. Part of this involves checking that an url with the same name does

Answer 1

Like @A Scott says, the echo $? can't be used to know wether the URL is correct (I'm on Mac OS 10.11 and SVN client 1.9.5).

For potential future readers, i use this workaround :

content=$(svn info $SVN_TAG_URL)

if [[ -z $content ]]; then
    echo "The SVN URL doesn't exist"; exit
fi
