Hi,
I wanted to check again if there has been any progress on this issue.
It would be nice to get this fixed in a 1.7.x APR release, so
Subversion on Windows could get (the benefits of) APR 1.7.
To recap, the following call to apr_stat:
status = apr_stat(finfo, "C:/",
APR_FINFO_TYPE | APR_FINFO_LINK | APR_FINFO_SIZE | APR_FINFO_MTIME,
pool);
succeeds with APR 1.6.5 on Windows, but fails with ARP 1.7.0 (returns
720002). Same goes for any other drive root (for instance with
subst'ed drives, which was the original report -- sometimes people
point a subst'ed drive to an SVN working copy root).
Thanks,

Johan
