Replacing server components with unsupported version of subversion (_svn)

[Jens Peters <jp...@gmx.de>]

I know that you don't want this kind of questions, and don't want to ask 
this too, but just to be sure:

I recently updated my server (official subversion via apache) to version 
1.0.6 without any problems. If I replace the binaries with the 
unsupported version from branko (_svn), do I have to except any changes 
on the server components (thus mod_*.so, svnadmin.exe etc., thus all 
files except svn.exe) and do I have to except some incompatabilties with 
my db-files? I guess the answer is no, but since the unsupported package 
includes all binaries and not just svn.exe I'm a little bit unsure.

Greetings and thanks,
Jens

The _svn change only affects the client.

Well, I build both distros with the same dependencies, and the SVN 
libraries aren't shared on Windows (yet), so those problems don't exist.

In fact, it will, for the reasons stated above. Of course, if you use 
svnversion, you'll have to replace it too since it inspects the WC. And 
the Python bindings are also affected, obviously, which is why they're 
the only other component that I rebuild with the ASP.NET bug workaround.

DB files will be compatible, but it is a bad idea to mix different binary
distributions of subversion. There are several different C runtime library
versions on Windows, and having some svn dlls/exes using one and other
dlls/exes using another could cause subtle and obscure problems.

(Oh, and just replacing svn.exe will *NOT* work)
