by writing a new client (TortoiseSVN). I had a function which first
does something like svn st <folder> to get all the files which need
to get commited, then show all those files in a dialog box where
the user can select/deselect single files for the commit (sometimes
it's usefull to split changes into several commits or to simply not
commit some those changes which don't work right now). If the
user deselects all the files (or if no file needs a commit) then my
client crashed 'cause the second parameter to svn_client_commit()
was an empty array.
I fixed it now by checking first before calling svn_client_commit()
though it has no priority to get 'fixed' in subversion.
