Yes, this is what I meant. I listed earlier in this thread what the acceptable upgrade paths are in terms of our compatibility guidelines: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2012-01/0427.shtml So, the bottom line is that there is more work that needs to be done than you've done so far to get this problem fixed. I realise that this may be frustrating for you, and I hope that you don't give up but try to work towards a solution that does not harm compatibility. Please understand that we're trying to find the right balance for our user base. Some users have the problem you want to fix, and others would run into compatibility problems if we fixed it by applying your patch. This is not an easy tradeoff to make for us. I would prefer if Subversion didn't have this stupid problem on Mac OS X. But so far we have never compromised compatibility and this is a very important property of Subversion that we do not want to lose. Compatibility is a high priority for us.
