   Workaround for issue #4087, "bogus repos_id in wc.db for file externals"
   Justification:
     Regression from 1.6. Some repositories with file externals cannot be
     checked out with 1.7. Users complained.
     See http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2011-12/0299.shtml
   Branch:
     ^/subversion/branches/1.7.x-issue4087
   Notes:
     r1164929 and r1200277 were merged to simplify conflict resolution
     r1243694 implements the workaround
     r1243840 is a cosmetic follow-up treak
     r1243920 was merged for conflict resolution for r1244466
     r1244466 eliminates an unneccesary RA round-trip from r1243694
     r1244551 uses a better API to query the local repos root and uuid
     r1295372 improves test coverage
   Votes:
     +1: stsp, neels

 * r1291594
   Support httpd-2.4 in davautocheck.

     +1: danielsh

 * r1291797, r1291810
   On Windows detect where perl is installed and add this information to the
   include and lib directory settings of the swig-perl projects.
   Justification:
     Allows building swig-perl without copying perl libraries manually.
     Somehow required on the Windows buildbot since the last library version
     bump.

     +1: rhuijben

 * r1293945, r1293972, r1293976, r1293998, r1294136, r1294236;
   r1294134, r1294147, r1294586
   Two interdependent changes:
   Fix issue #4121: copy followed by delete of unreadable child.
   Fix svn:// authz in Python tests.
   Justification:
     User resorted to patching the commit editor to work around this.
     Tests are broken.
   Notes:
     r1293945,r1293972,r1293976 are cosmetics.
     r1293998 is the fix.
     r1294136 is a test.
     r1294236 fixes an uninitialized variable.
   Notes:
     r1294134 extends a test to demonstrate its brokenness.
     r1294147 fixes said brokenness.
     r1294586 fixes r1294147 for Windows.
   Votes:
     +1: danielsh, stsp

 * r1295007
   Include svnrdump in the Windows build.
   Justification:
     I do not know for sure, but I assume that either make-dist.py or
     vc6-build.bat.in is actually used by some people --- and if I'm wrong,
     this would be harmless.

 * r1210913, r1211048
   Fix issue 4073, assert on svn:externals path with drive letter on Windows.
   Justification:
     Avoid client asserting.
   Notes:
     Merge with '--accept mc' to resolve r1210913 conflict.
   Votes:
     +1: philip
     +1: stsp (cannot test this, but the trunk windows buildsbots are
               happy and the diff makes sense)
