RE: Windows build severly broken due to read-only issues...

Philip:

(first second quoted comment) OK, I assumed the comments were talking
about Subversion, not APR.

(then back to the first) *sigh*... that's an interesting point. The
most straightforward way to do that would be to call another APR
function to see if the file exists first. But, due to the... I don't
even know what to call it... strategy? that APR is taking to Unicode,
that would mean that the filename would get copied from multi-byte to
Unicode yet _another_ time on OS's that purport to have a "Unicode FS"
(whatever they mean by that, note it isn't "Unicode API").

*winces in pain*

*hates APR's file API and tries to avoid it like the plague*

Sounds good to me. Depending on what happens to apr_file_copy it may
be that Unix also needs to make the destination writeable before
copying. Will you check for the file's existance before setting the
attributes?

I subsequently did write and post an APR patch to do this on Unix, see
