That was in 2002, so at that time we were using CVS, and we converted the repository to Subversion with cvs2svn on 2005-10-24. But when I detected this issue, this was with a local mirror, thus with a repository that has been rebuilt a few weeks ago on a machine with Subversion 1.14.0. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
