I think I've been trying to balance two incompatible use cases - ordinary users that just need a heads-up about a bug that might bite them, and authors of related tools (i.e. me) that need technical information about svn-fe. I think your text serves ordinary users better, so I'll investigate pushing history back to Subversion tomorrow and think how to write something more technical. I'm afraid my patch etiquette fails me here though - is it better for me to roll your text into a new patch, or let you do that and submit my text separately? - Andrew
