FIXED. > and IMHO a resolution to the "deprecate Berkeley DB" discussion. My current thoughts on this can be summarized like so: * The appropriate time to stop supporting Berkeley DB is in the same release for which existing FSFS will also have to dump/load. It is cruel to force admins to endure the migration process twice -- possibly in successive releases of Subversion -- and especially when one of those times is just for a (possibly less-than-compelling) bit of a performance boost. * That said, I'm okay with deprecating Berkeley DB today as a warning to existing BDB users that change is a-comin', though the release notes should (again) indicate that there's no reason to rush off and convert to FSFS until an as-yet-undecided future revision forces the issue for *all* Subversion users. -- C.
