Summary of status of #525 ========================= Currently on the 'pristines-on-demand-on-mwf' branch.
Dev tasks in progress or outstanding: ---------- * Multi-WC-format dependency (https://subversion.apache.org/issue/4883): - is merged to trunk and reviewed; - some outstanding items from review like UI tweaks, API private-vs-public choices (in dev@ emails, and #4884 through #4887); - some docs probably needed (release notes, help text). * Per-WC config (https://subversion.apache.org/issue/4889): - Quotes from #4889: "not strictly needed for MVP... MIGHT be good to add the low level flagging mechanism now... not clear which would be more effort." - Last thing I wrote on 2022-02-16 [1]: "I do think we need an explicit option to enable the feature by name, not just a WC version number. I haven't yet worked out whether it must also be possible to upgrade to 1.15 format without enabling the feature, and thus need to store the feature-enable flag in the WC somewhere separate from the format version number. For future developments of other wc features, that will be needed; I just haven't finalised yet if it's essential for MVP. Might be, in order to not cause compatibility issues for those future scenarios." * Issues arising in existing regression tests (#4888 and others): - authz denied during textbase sync (#4888) -- in progress [2] - about 12 other tests that were disabled or modified -- I have started investigating and patching; need some further attention. Community tasks outstanding: ---------------- * initiate a merge to trunk * decide on a name for the feature - Julian [1] dev@ thread "A two-part vision for Subversion and large binary objects."
