But is that an RA constant, or something under the covers? ie. does that need to be in svn_ra.h for client consumption, or can RA determine that privately and compensate? For example, ra_dav can do everything but the symlink operations and rotate(). Those will need to query the server to determine whether to use new/old marshalling. But to the svn_ra user, it is always available. For ra_local, it is always available at both internal/client levels. Cheers, -g
