[jira] [Closed] (SVN-1254) Poor error messages

["Nathan Hartman (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-1254?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nathan Hartman closed SVN-1254.
-------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

As Karl Fogel commented previously, this is a "grab bag" issue and as
such is not specific enough to be actionable or measurable.

Also, this issue is very old (last comment from 2004) and many of the
errors mentioned here are obsolete. For example some were due to Neon.
Subversion has long since switched from Neon to Serf.

If there are unclear error messages, please open a separate issue for
each distinct case.
