Issue with command pipes

[glena]

Hi,

One of our projects is using Strider to deploy a WordPress plugin using SVN.

One of the commands, adds to svn all the new files doing the following svn status | grep '\?' | awk '{print $2}'| xargs svn add

with the following output

+ awk '{print $2}'
+ svn status
+ xargs svn add
+ grep '\?'

For some reason, this stop working and after check the logs, the output change like the pipes where executing in the other way

+ xargs svn add
+ awk '{print $2}'
+ grep '\?'
+ svn status

adn after update the command to xargs svn add | awk '{print $2}' | grep '\?' | svn status

it is working again.

Is there any reason for this awkward issue?

No idea... Maybe something to do with the arguments passed here: https://github.com/Strider-CD/strider-custom/blob/master/worker.js#L34

weird. I solved this (I found another way to do this) but it is really weird. Thanks
