It's time to consider 1.9.8 and 1.10.1. 1.9.7 has issue 4722, the spurious SHA1 checksum fail during commit:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SVN/issues/SVN-4722 This has been reported more than once on users and is a regression from earlier 1.9.x. 1.10.0 has issue 4741, an authz group cannot refer to multiple groups: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SVN/issues/SVN-4741 This is a regression from 1.9 and is potential obstacle to anyone considering an upgrade to 1.10. -- Philip
