Nightly build warning

BIG FAT WARNING:

If you want to try the latest nightly builds from trunk, you should make
sure that:
* you don't use any other Subversion clients
* you don't have the svn:executable property set on any files

The reason is that the nightlies are now built against the Subversion
trunk (there's a lot of new stuff in there, and I need time to put them
to good use - I don't want to wait two months after Subversion releases
1.4 until TSVN 1.4 gets out).
And Subversion now has a new working copy format. It automatically
upgrades the working copy to the new format, but that makes it
incompatible for older clients. So if you're also using other clients,
don't use a TSVN nightly!

Another thing is that there's a bug in Subversion (don't know if it's
related to the fact that I'm now also linking against the latest apr
libs) which aborts any update/checkout if the svn:executable property is
set - because making a file executable on windows is not possible.

I've just discovered this when I tried to update my working copy of the
Subversion lib - now I'm screwed because I need to do a fresh checkout
with an older client (the new one doesn't work, and the working copy
already is upgraded to the new working copy version).

So, you have been warned!

Stefan
