PATCH: warn against old Samba in the FAQ (was BUG: svn st => svn:
Can't open '.svn/tmp/mixed.pl.tmp': No such file or directory)
Short story: the problem is probably due to a bug in an old version of
Samba.
Longer story:
First I eliminated Cygwin as a possible culprit: the problem happened
equally with the native Win32 subversion binaries.
Then I tried the repro scripts on Samba 3.0.6, and the problem did not
recur.
But more importantly (to me, anyway), I was able to reproduce the
nastier problem to which I vaguely alluded (by simply tarring up the
original messed-up working copy, and experimenting with it), and _it_
also doesn't happen with the newer Samba.
So I think all that remains to be done is to patch the FAQ thusly:
