Hi! Very good work, I've been looking at the commits as they've come in and I think it looks very promising.

I made a quick draft in r1919293 updating the INSTALL file. I took some liberties in asserting that this will be released as 1.15 and default in 1.16 - we have not decided this but this is my suggestion. As for the website, the source-code.html[1] page refers to INSTALL but it also "you should find the 'svn' binary in the subversion/svn/ subdirectory" which should be updated to also describe the CMake build system. Maybe the build system should also be described in the community guide like the existing build system[2]. Kind regards, Daniel [1] https://subversion.apache.org/source-code.html [2] https://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/building.html#configury
