Done: r1294479 and followups. See also r1294470 which improves the error message. The latter will hopefully be in 1.7.4. svn_fs_verify() is not present in 1.7.x so the r1294479 set of changes cannot easily be backported. > AI File an issue for the pred-count bug Issue #4129: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4129
