Found read-only security hole in svnserve

svnserve's compatibility code for old clients was allowing clients to
read a repository even if anon-access was set to "none".  I've fixed
this in r7888.  This probably warrants an 0.33.2 if at all possible.

Sorry about that.

I agree. Releasing 0.33.2 today and 0.34.0 two days from now might be
confusing.

bye,

Erik.

Okay.  I guess if people don't want to immediately deal with dumping and
loading their repositories to upgrade to 0.34, they can apply a source
patch to 0.33.1.

(The number of users affected by the problem is probably miniscule
anyway.)

I'd say port the fix over to 0.34 and recommend an upgrade to that
instead. If we have to make a release, then I'd say stick to just 0.34.
