Re: svn commit: r1565531 - /subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c

This commit is causing a change of behaviour for me against the Apache svn repo. I think there is an error in this code.

The error I get when trying to run a merge into an svn trunk WC from an svn branch is:

Here, "san" is false (no SubjectAltName found), so found_san_entry remains uninitialized...

... and here we skip this block because found_san_entry is -134885336 i.e. "true".

This results in the certificate being considered invalid.
