Status of 1.6.13:
================
Candidate changes:
* r879766
Fix issue #3498: Subversion password stores freeze Eclipse
Justification:
All subclipse users are in great need of this.
Branch:
Resolves a minor conflict in libsvn_auth_gnome_keyring/gnome_keyring.c
where the code changed was refactored on trunk.
^/subversion/branches/1.6.x-r39692
Votes:
+1: stylesen
+0: julianfoad (reviewed, not tested)
-0: rhuijben (needs more explanation: The not-interactive and no
callback code paths should be more similar if the code
works correctly. I think the not interactive code path
needs the same fix).
* r878590, r878607, r878625, r878626, r878627
In trunk we optimized the common case of 'find-and-replace with same uri'
of proxied content thanks to issue 3445 "WebDAV proxy code munging user
data".
r878590 is just a change that adds FIXME marker to code comment. We take it
to avoid spurious conflicts with other revisions.
r878607 Special cases no-op find and replace.
"r878625, r878626, r878627" are follow-up to r878607 and the other long
pending Master info leak to the clients.
Justification:
1. This group has the most common 'optimization' fix of *not* groking the
proxied response to find and replace with same string.
2. Fixes the master information leak via the Location header.
3. Need this to be ported for the other defect to be ported
without conflict.
Votes:
+1: kameshj, cmpilato
-0: julianfoad (seem to be multiple changes here for different reasons -
at least issue '3445 and an optimization and an information leak;
r878607 log msg says it fixes bugs but it's not clear what bugs;
don't know how to tell whether justification 1 is significant;
justifications don't seem to refer to issue #3445. Please can we
separate these changes and clearly describe each one? And update
the r878607 log msg.)
* r916286, r917512
Fixes failing commmits (with vague error messages) seen on client
side for WebDAV proxy configurations such as the following (note
the trailing slash at the end of '/svn/'):
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /repositories
# Trailing slash on the master URI also can cause the confusion.
SVNMasterURI http://master/svn/
SVNAdvertiseV2Protocol Off
Error message shows up like so:
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MKACTIVITY of '/svn/demujin/!svn/act/4b6d547c-018d-4e02-9d3f-2b28\
3076cc06': Could not read status line: connection was closed by server\
(http://localhost)
Notes:
Depends on the r878590 group for a conflict-free backport.
Justification:
Fixes failed commits.
Votes:
+1: kameshj
* r917523
If the configured slave url employes URI-unsafe characters
(, '?', '%'), proxying of commits fails and commit affects
the slave repository directly.
Notes:
This backport depends on the r878590 and r916286 groups only for the
conflict free port.
Justification:
With this commit we avoid accidental commit to the slave and hence
making it unusable as a proxy anymore.
Votes:
+1: kameshj
* r996884
Hide unreadable directory children in mod_dav_svn's GET response.
Justification:
We might as well be as tight security-wise as we can, even if
we've publicly stated for years that this was an expected leak of
information. Not showing unreadable subdirs, for example, prevents
folks from clicking that sucker in the browser only to get an authz
failure.
Votes:
+1: cmpilato, hwright
* r997026, r997070, r997474
For issue #3709 ("Inconsistency between "svn list" and "svn
checkout"), omit unreadable paths from the get-dir RA response.
Justification:
Fixes 'svn ls -R' failing when recursing into a read-blocked
subdirectory by teaching servers not to mention such
subdirectories so the client doesn't try to recurse into them.
Notes:
Depends on the r996884 group for a function rename and
introduction of another.
Votes:
+1: cmpilato
* r997471
Client-side workaround for issue #3709 ("Inconsistency between "svn
list" and "svn checkout").
Justification:
Fixes issue #3709 for clients talking to servers that don't strip
out unreadable paths from their get-dir responses.
Votes:
+1: cmpilato
* r962377, r962378
Fix svnsync handling of directory copyfrom.
Justification:
Could lead to sync'd repositories being different from the master.
Concerns:

Veto-blocked changes:
=====================
* r877552, r877617, r877618, r877619, r877621
Support using `svnversion` on files and improve some messages printed by
`svnversion`.
Justification:
Some messages printed by `svnversion` are inconsistent and sometimes
incorrect:
$ svnversion /usr
exported
$ svnversion /bin/ls
'/bin/ls' not versioned, and not exported
$ svnversion VERSIONED_FILE
'VERSIONED_FILE' not versioned, and not exported
$ svnversion /nonexistent
subversion/libsvn_wc/questions.c:90: (apr_err=2)
svn: '/nonexistent' does not exist
^^^
Messages with these revisions backported:
$ svnversion /usr
Unversioned directory
$ svnversion /bin/ls
Unversioned file
$ svnversion VERSIONED_FILE
NUMBER
$ svnversion /nonexistent
'/nonexistent' doesn't exist
Votes:
+1: arfrever
-0: cmpilato (Introduces new features and changes output)
-1: rhuijben (Introduces new features and changes output;
I think it should be removed from STATUS)
* r878078, r878088, r878102, r878196
Make KWallet window attached to terminal window.
Justification:
Without this change, KWallet window can appear behind terminal window
and is left after killing terminal.
Votes:
+1: arfrever
-0: peters
-1: rhuijben ("/proc/%ld/stat" is ugly and Linux-specific -
would just getenv("WINDOWID") work instead?)
-1: stsp (I've removed the Linux-specific code from trunk in r1002144
and r1002151, so trunk code only relies on getenv("WINDOWID").
I would +1 a backport that also merges these revisions).
* r921453, r927184, r927243
Fix reopened issue #3020 'Reflect dropped/renumbered revisions in
svn:mergeinfo data during svnadmin load'
Justification:
Prior to this fix, when loading a partial dump with mergeinfo, the
resulting mergeinfo in the target repository could refer to non-existent
revisions or revisions that have nothing to do with the merge source
in the original repository. The original fix for issue assumed that
the dump stream was for a complete repository.
Notes:
r921453 and 927184 are tests, r927243 is the fix.
Branch:
^/subversion/branches/1.6.x-issue3020
Votes:
+1: kameshj
-1: pburba (There is a regression with this fix, see
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-03/0716.shtml)
* r933194
Fix for issue #2753
SVNListParentPath feature doesn't work when svn authz is used.
Justification:
This issue is waiting for resolution for more than 3 years.
Notes:
See discussion at http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-04/0275.shtml
Votes:
-1: cmpilato (pending results of aforemented discussion)
* r950445, 950468
Fix for issue #2591 "'svnadmin hotcopy' does not replicate symlinks".
Justification:
This fix helps server administrators who has common files symlinked
across their repositories and take frequent backups of their repos
using svnadmin hotcopy.
Notes:
r950445 fixes the issue and r950468 is a test for this issue.
In r967173 on trunk, svn_io_dir_walk()'s original functionality
was restored, and svn_io_dir_walk2() introduced to also cover
symlinks.
Votes:
+1: stylesen,
-0: julianfoad (Tested and works fine, but changes semantics of
svn_io_dir_walk() which we should not do in a back-port.
Discussing on list.)
-1: cmpilato (Changes semantics of svn_io_dir_walk()).
