brew: `brew tests` infinite loop on svn_spec

Please note we will close your issue without comment if you delete, do not read or do not fill out the issue checklist below and provide ALL the requested information. If you repeatedly fail to use the issue template, we will block you from ever submitting issues to Homebrew again.

  • ran brew update and can still reproduce the problem?
  • ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and can still reproduce the problem?
  • ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

What you were trying to do (and why)

Run brew tests.

What happened (include command output)

Running brew tests results in an infinite loop and does not end. I narrowed down the problem to svn_spec.rb (which is also a part of utils_spec.rb), and running either brew tests --only=utils/svn or brew tests --only=utils does not end, requiring a manual abort. The output of both commands with --verbose and --debug are shown below.

I believe this may be a Catalina-only problem, possibly related to this issue. I have verified that installing svn via brew with brew install svn solves this brew tests issue (see below).
