i'm reminded of a fortune i once saw (badly quoting it from memory
here...)

"every non trivial program can be shortened by at least one
instruction, and contains at least one bug. it therefor follows that
every such program can be reduced to one instruction, which is the
bug."

so translating to modern days, if we want to reduce the number of
issues, we should just replace subversion with a single file, svn.c,
which contains the following code:

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  return 0;
}

and then our issues database could be reduced to a single issue, which
simply contains the following text.

"it doesn't work."
