probable typo

[Madan U Sreenivasan <ma...@collab.net>]

Hi,

    The project_tasks.html contains the following text...

<quote>
Also, note that recently some code from the Dawn of Days of the Subversion  
project has been revived. It implements an XML (de)serializer for editor  
drive data, which means it can spit out an XML representation of a set of  
changes, and can take that XML representation and use it to "patch" a  
pristing set of files. The other existing (de)serializer today is the one  
that is commonly known as the "dumpfile" format. These two existing  
implementations need to be taken into account during the analysis and  
design phase.
</quote>

    I do not unerstand what this means completely. Could somebody enlighten  
me pl? Maybe its simply hard for a SoC candidate to understand, which  
means we should simplify the wording.

    Also, Pl. note the word 'pristing'. I think this obviously is wrong and  
is a typo for 'pristine'. Again, I might be wrong, as I dont understand  
the surrounding context. But if am not, pl. find a patch attached to fix  
this.

Regards,
Madan.

Thanks for the explanation and the commit :)

It means that there is some old work to consider when designing a new format.
One is an extended, XML-based, patch format.  It will represent subversions
internal way of describing a change (a so called editor drive, see svn_delta.h)
as a set of XML elements.

The other format one might want to look at is the format produced by
svnadmin dump.  That's a MIME-like format.

Note that SoC is closed for new applications, so we may not need to clarify
it for that reason for some time:-)

Fixed in r19734.  Thanks.
