As Subversion continues to mature, and as it gains attention from new users, folks will inevitably find bugs in, or come up with enhancements that they would like to see made to, the software. The Subversion community welcomes such requests for enhancements and reports of bugs. However, we ask that you follow a few guidelines with respect to the issue filing process.

Before filing an issue in the Issue Tracker, please:

Look through the existing issues to determine if your concern has already been noted by someone else.
Make sure that you've read the appropriate documentation (for example, the Subversion book) to verify that you are using the software appropriately, and to determine if any problems you are seeing are perhaps not real bugs.
Send email to the development list (dev@subversion.tigris.org) fully describing the enhancement or bug that brought you here today. That will give the community a chance to ask questions of you, so that we can fully understand your concern.

When mailing the development list with a concern, make sure that your e-mail describes your bug or enhancement fully. Provide details about the versions of the relevant software (Subversion, Apache, neon, etc.) that you are using, about your operating system, and about any other thing that might seem pertinent to the issue. If you can provide a script which consistently reproduces a problem, that can be incredibly helpful to those evaluating and/or working on your issue.

After mailing the development list, you should expect your concern to be addressed with relative immediacy. That is, within a few days, you should get feedback on your mail. If indeed you have found a new bug in Subversion, or if your enhancement request is feasible, you will likely be asked to return here and file a new issue in the Issue Tracker.

And so, with further ado, we give you (drumroll…) the Subversion Issue Tracker.
