WC format silently upgraded?
I've been using a trunk build of svn with a working copy created by
1.1.4 (from Debian stable). All I ever did was run "svn st" and "svn
revert", yet the .svn/entries file was silently upgraded to the new,
non-XML format.
What gives? I thought we decided not to do that?

Well, obviously :-) But if it's something you think might have the
potential to cause you a problem in the future, you may want to consider
compiling like that by default. I've been saved from accidentally
upgrading my 1.3.x-era wc to the 1.4.x format several times since I
started using it.

If it helps, you can compile the client with -DSVN_DISABLE_WC_UPGRADE.
That'll give you a client that errors out instead of silently upgrading
the wc.

Ah. O.K., thanks; somehow my memory told me that we decided not to
update the format automagically. Obviously my memory needs a vacation.

Huh? When did we decide that? revert opens the WC with a write lock
which means an upgrade. status does not upgrade.
Note that this isn't specific to the non-xml format. This happened at
wc-replacement approx. 10 months ago.
