 =================
+
+ * r1240752
+   Workround for a faulty APR truncate() implementation. When rep sharing
+   has been activated on FSFS repositories, a rep will be truncated from
+   the file after it has been found to be a duplicate of some existing rep.
+   If this happens high up in the tree (in the root folder, preferrably),
+   not enough data may be written afterwards (parent directories + list
+   of changes in that revision) to fully overwrite the stale rep content.
+   Justification:
+     Rare but real source of corruption.
