Repository tests can fail if the required SCM client command is unavailable or outdated (e.g., Mercurial 5.1 or higher is required for the current trunk), resulting in a large number of test failures.

To reproduce the issue, add the following lines to config/configuration.yml and run the repository tests.

  scm_subversion_command: /tmp/invalid-svn
  scm_mercurial_command: /tmp/invalid-hg
  scm_git_command: /tmp/invalid-git
  scm_cvs_command: /tmp/invalid-cvs
  scm_bazaar_command: /tmp/invalid-bzr

The attached patch modifies the test setup so that repository tests are skipped when the corresponding SCM client command is not available. This avoids test failures in such environments.

This issue is related to #33784#note-24.
