Ah ok, I understand. No problem for the time being. I'll continue
using a debug build now. If I find I need to work/test with a release
build again, I'll see if I can just move the SVN_WITH_SYMMETRIC_MERGE
ifdefs to a smaller scope so the needed symbols
(svn_client__do_symmetric_merge and svn_client__find_symmetric_merge)
are always defined, but otherwise empty.
