Remarks on backports from STATUS

Reviewing the changes in STATUS for backporting to 1.0.x I found the
following issues:

* r8839 (import doesn't handle eol-style and keywords)
   the changed function send_file_contents leaks a temporary file when and
error
   occurs between the creation of the temp file and temp file cleanup. I
think
   an additional commit should solve that before merging this to 1.0.x.

* r8551 (cause blame to bail on binary files)
  This revision adds a new error code which I think is inappropriate for
micro
   releases due to our forward and backward compatibility restraints on the
API.
   For this reason I've put a -1 in status. Returning another error until
1.1 would
   solve this issue as far as I'm concerned.
   I think SVN_ERR_ILLEGAL_TARGET is somewhat cryptic but gets closest to
being reasonable.

bye,

Erik.

In which case it's a good thing that I did not commit it yet...

I'm not vetoing the backposrt, so I won't commit it :-)

Huh?  What STATUS file are you looking at?  I see this:

  * Issue #1733, attachment 305
    Backport r8551 to 1.0.X to cause blame to bail on binary files.
    Justification:  Nicer behavior to the end user. 
    Votes:
      +1: sussman, cmpilato

I don't see your -1...?

And we *have* done a backport that is slightly different from r8551,
specifically a backport which doesn't create a new error code.  We're
nominating the patch, not r8551 itself.  Look at issue #1733.  We've
already been down this road.  :-)
