ALL DEVELOPERS -- FIX YOUR BUSTED WC NOW!

[cm...@collab.net]

As was pointed out earlier, due to a client bug, some nasty stuff got
into the Subversion source repository.  ***THIS WAS NOT A CASE OF
REPOS CORRUPTION***.  That is, the repository succeeded in performing
the task the client asked it to do, and no data was damaged or lost or
anything.  However, it was certainly a circumstance which highlights a
client frailty, and it has probably affected every developer with a
relatively up-to-date Subversion working copy.

That said, Ben Collins-Sussman <su...@collab.net> writes:

You heard the man.  Upgrade your working copies to post-4023, and
rebuild your Subversion clients.

This has been done.  As far the repository is concerned, the
propchanges never happened in that revision (I re-added them
afterwards).

This is the important part.  ALL DEVELOPERS should do this.

Presumably, folks bootstrap because they have no working copies.
They're fine.  All the 'rm -rf hook-scripts; svn up' stuff was just a
workaround to prevent folks with working copies from having to check
out whole new working copies.

hey,

Will this fix cause a problem for people boot strapping?
just curious.
