Hi Daniel.

I haven't looked at your patch v5 yet, because this Git diff doesn't
look quite right. How will this memcmp expression work properly if the
two strings being compared are different lengths?

I'd like to see this code running in some test scenarios. Please could
you see if we already have tests for the functions affected by your
patch, and write one (or more) if not, or extend existing ones if that
looks appropriate, to test the changes. The test code can be very
simple - see the existing tests in
subversion/tests/libsvn_subr/translate-test.c and
subversion/tests/libsvn_subr/stream-test.c. Sorry to ask for more work
when you've already done a lot, but I think then I would be able to have
greater confidence that these changes are not breaking existing
functionality.

If this is already covered by existing tests, can you tell me which
one(s) so I can check them.

Thanks.

- Julian
