svn-load 0.9 release
svn-load 0.9 is now available:
http://free.linux.hp.com/~dannf/svn-load/svn-load-0.9.tar.gz
Changes:
* Add support for regular files becoming symlinks, reported
in Debian bug #436751
* Fix help output to show that at least one load directory is
required, reported in Debian bug #475093
* Treat directory symlinks like files when overlaying them to
prevent a real directory (and its contents) from being added
svn-load is a (mostly) drop-in replacement for svn_load_dirs. It is
available under an open source license and implemented in python.

To be clear: the issue is more about the copyright holder's uncertainty
as to whether a former employer has any claim over the code. If it were
merely up to the listed holder, there'd be no problem.
Dann, you might want to make maintain feature comparison table on the
web page, and when you've subsumed all the features of the old script,
make an announcement here. It sounds like you're very close...

Functionality wise, yes. The move map option is the only additional
feature svn-load has beyond svn_load_dirs.pl.
svn-load came into existance because the copyright holder for
svn_load_dirs.pl hasn't made it available under a license that permits
things like redistribution, modification, etc. This means that at
least one distribution (Debian) chose to stop shipping it, causing a
functionality regression for our users. After unsuccessful attempts to
have it made available under an open source license, I chose to
reimplement it.

Is that (-m FILE) the main reason why I might use svn-load, or what
other incentive do I have to use svn-load instead of svn_load_dirs.pl?

These svn_load_dirs options have no counterpart in svn-load:
-p filename table listing properties to apply to matching files
-svn_username username to perform commits as
-svn_password password to supply to svn commit
The only option svn-load adds is:
-m FILE, --move-map=FILE
which is used to automate file movements

Can you say what's missing between svn-load and svn_load_dirs still?
