Re: svn commit: r1845066 - /subversion/trunk/notes/dump-load-format.txt

[Bert Huijben <be...@qqmail.nl>]

This actually depends on what APR uses on different machines. We (as
Subversion) fully depend on APR to generate the UUID, and different
platforms may (and will) use different techniques. APR has its own fallback
completely depending on date/time+randomness when a platform doesn't
provide its own UUID api.

On Windows XP and later, the UuidCreate() function implementing this
function for us doesn't encode the MAC. On older (now unsupported) windows
versions it did encode it.


I'm not sure if this kind of implementation detail belongs in the
documentation.
