Patience, homey.
As a regular poster to this list, I assume you also read what others
post. You might have gathered that there are currently (in fact,
almost always) several important threads going on, plus a 0.14.2
tarball release, plus patches being submitted at a ridiculous rate.
It's nothing personal against you or your patch, but we have an issue
tracker for prioritizing tasks to be done, and there are several of us
who use just that prioritized list to determine what we need to be
working on. If you feel that the list is prioritized wrongly, make a
stronger case for different ordering on the list. That is, explain to
us why 'svn -R' is more important than upgrading the FS schema, or
tweaking the property filenames, or ... you know, the other things
that we spent our time for this last release.
Also, I believe Karl is planning another batch-patch-processing day
soon.
