Status of 1.7.7:

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

 * r1242759, r1242770, r1242794, r1380175, r1392599
   Fix various issues with GNOME and KDE keyring providers, especially
   as regards how their interact with --non-interactive mode.  Fixes
   issues #4110 ("kwallet not used with --non-interactive") and #4112
   ("gnome keyring --non-interactive fail with password on disk").
   Justification:
     Fixes user-reported problem which significantly limits
     usabilility in certain environments.
   Branch:

     +1: philip (without r1392599), cmpilato (without r1392599), breser

 * r1306275, and too many other revisions to list here
   New diff support code for added/deleted files and directories.
   Fixes issue #4153, "svn log --diff" on moved file gives "not found",
   and other problems.
   Justification:
     The current code (introduced in 1.7.x in the r1207351 backport commit)
     produces inconsistent paths in diff output (see
     http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2012-03/0385.shtml), and it also breaks
     with the paradigm that the target of an editor drive may never have more
     than one path component (which according to cmpilato is an API violation).
   Notes:
     Please read the branch and related trunk log messages for detailed notes
     about these changes.

 * ^/subversion/branches/1.7.x-commit-performance
   r1337118, r1337281, r1337374, r1337377, r1337392, r1337394, r1337485
   Use the working copy status walker as a first filter to find committable
   nodes.
   Justification:
     Huge performance boost. Especially on NFS.
   Notes:
     Backports the status walker framework. Many other parts are backportable
     too, but this branch delivers the plumbing.
     [JAF] We might want to include some of the subsequent updates to this
           code, such as: r1337403, r1337475, r1337736, r1338059, r1338338.
   Votes:
     +0: rhuijben (I would like to see some test results before backporting)

 * r1341060
   Sort output of 'svn import'
   Notes: Needs a backport branch, noted here for completeness.
   Votes:
     +0: stsp (pending a proper conflict-free backport)
     -0: julianfoad (Nice behaviour enhancement but what's the justification
            for back-porting this on its own without similar for other
            commands?  The log msg says it was done to maintain stable output
            with APR 1.4.6 random hash order, but it wasn't stable before
            that because the order the directory entries were read into the
            hash, and so the order of multiple keys in one bucket, was not
            controlled.)

 * r1389851
   Fix commit from multiple working copies nested within a parent WC.
   Justification:
     Prevents error when trying commit from multiple nested WCs.
     Fixes a test failure on 1.7.x when run within a format 30 WC.

 * r1389878
   Fix working copy access via symlink to WC nested within a format 30 WC.
   Justification:
     Fixes two test failures on 1.7.x when run within a format 30 WC.
   Notes:
     Depends on r1389499 backport for passing tests.
