Hmm, actually I made a mistake. The merge was done through our own gui tool 
that actually uses svn 1.8.1 command line. Looks like there are a few serf 
fixes in 1.8.3 but the status entry I found looks very suspicious.

The current TortoiseSVN is already compiled against serf 1.3 as far as I can 
tell.
(TortoiseSVN uses its own custom build system and this patch just affects the 
build system)

Hi list,

I hit this when doing a reintegrate merge with svn 1.8.3 (tortoisesvn 1.8.2). I 
repeated the operation with svn 1.7.8 and it did not occur. The following 
section in the STATUS file looks highly relevant:

* ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-serf-1.3+-windows
   Allow compiling against serf 1.3 and later on Windows
   Justification:
     Serf 1.3 brings a lot of fixes that we need for 1.8.x stability.
   Notes:
     The dependency handling on Windows was updated for 1.9+, so this
     needs a specific backport patch (r1517123)
   Votes:
     +1: rhuijben, brane

Cheers,
James
