Candidate changes:
==================

 * r1705038
   Fix issue #4607, patch with missing newline removes newline when applied.
   Justification:
     Silently makes unexpected changes.
   Votes:
     +1: philip
     +0: rhuijben (while I agree that this patch fixes a problem, I don't
                   think this is the right backport. This patch changes the
                   behavior of a public api (with no known users except
                   libsvn_client) in a specific way for this issue. On trunk
                   this behavior change was reverted when a better fix was
                   implemented)

 * r1794166, r1795087
   Search for gpg-agent sockets in (/var)/run.
   Justification:
     Improves GPG socket detection when $GPG_AGENT_INFO is unset or when gpg
     >= 2.1.13 is used

   Votes:
     +1: danielsh, jamessan

 * r1804013
   'svnadmin upgrade' of BDB: Error out on too-new formats.

     particular way.
   Votes:
     +1: danielsh, stsp

     ^/subversion/branches/1.9.x-r1809090
   Votes:
     +1: brane

 * r1813771, r1813783, r1813789, r1813794, r1813802, r1813898
   Issue #4700: null updates don't update last-changed-revision.
   Justification:
     Corrects the output of 'svn info --show-item=last-changed-revision'.
   Notes:
     The first three revisions and r1813802 add regression tests.
     r1813794 fixes the originally reported case.

     Cannot accept temporarily without this fix.
   Votes:
     +1: philip

 * r1800754,r1800755,r1800803,r1801705,r1801722,r1823202,r1823203
   Fix issue #4686 "Unable to parse reversed revision range '19634-19631'"

   Prune externals from excluded subtrees after 'update --set-depth=exclude'

     externals while excluding a subtree does not.

     +1: stsp, jcorvel

   Enforce the v1 HTTP protocol when a client sends PUT before CHECKOUT.

Veto-blocked changes:
=====================

 * r1701488
   Issue #4592 "fix contrib check-mime-type.pl for changes to 'svnlook proplist'
     output", http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4592
   Justification:
     Make this contributed script work again, after 1.7.8 broke it.
   Notes:
     Brett Randall put effort into contributing this fix: see the dev@ email
     thread "[patch][reboot-topic] fix check-mime-type.pl for changes to
     'svnlook proplist' output" started by him on 2015-08-07, archived at
     e.g. <http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2015-08/0047.shtml> or
     <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201508.mbox/%3CCALeEUB56NVCR0nCZ2rYki6oKQNcVPPLvWTeCoYyrMqitsov0ag@mail.gmail.com%3E>.
   Votes:
     +0: julianfoad, rhuijben (he says it works, but I haven't reviewed or tested)
     +0: danielsh (not tested; would be nice to have a $ anchor in the pattern)
     -1: brane (Not a valid backport, contrib/ is not in the release tarball.)
