+ <b>IMPORTANT!</b> At the current time, selecting by date in subversion
within the
+ ASF repository isn't reliable. The reason is that imports of data from
CVS
+ repositories into <i>any</i> part of the subversion repository stuffs
up subversion's
+ date-based indexes for all modifications prior to that import, even in
non-related
+ parts of the repository (the indexes are repository-wide). So while
dates are
+ reported correctly in "svn log" output, only revision numbers should be
used with
+ the -r option.
