just a passing thought
So we now have three small bugfixes that *might* justify a 0.24.2 release:
* 'svn export' had a pool bug, which might cause a crash (although
nobody actually got hit by it for the last 2 releases.)
* 'svnadmin dump', while now much faster, was doing zero memory
management, and growing really huge. cmpilato just fixed this
(see upcoming commit.)
* diff_tests.py were failing over dav for some people, because of an
uninitialized structure bug.
My feeling is: none of these buglets alone is enough to justify a
0.24.2 release. But *maybe*, taken together, they justify a new
release. Maybe.
But I'm certainly not directly advocating a new release. I'm going
back into my hole. :-)

I feel they do, but I'm just a selfish user who doesn't ever run the
trunk.

The worst is when you manage to get a '/' in a filename.

I used to see all sorts of strange filenames a few years ago while
working for a small ISP that offered SLIP access and also plain serial
dialup to a shell. Sometimes something would go wrong and line noise
would be sent to the shell, causing rather strange files to be created.

Huh, Unix lets you get away with even more far-out things. Ever seen a
backspace in a filename? It's confusing, to say the least :-)

I have already tried that believe me. Personally I NEVER use spaces.
However, MY users seem to think that because MS lets you, it's a good thing.
And in the particular case I can't change it. Grrr.!

Can't you just tell the user that spaces in file names are a really
bad idea, and they shouldn't do that? ;)
</tongue-in-cheek>
(I would really like to shoot the person who has perpetrated this evil
upon the world. :)

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!

Well, I'm now fixing a 4th bug... checkouts failing on directories
with spaces in their names. That's a pretty big deal.
We'll provide you with a list of revisions to merge. :-)

I don't really mind doing patch releases, especially when people are
kind enough to provide me with a ready made list of revisions to merge
as well as appropriate statements for the CHANGES file.
