And we have other QA methods as well.

 1. If anyone ever introduces a compile error into HEAD, we tar and
     feather them. :-)

 2. We use common sense, as cmpilato is describing above. We run
     hand tests, and as many of the python regression tests as seems
     reasonable, before committing. So 98% of the time, HEAD passes
     the regression tests.

 3. People on this list (well, mostly Branko) have nightly-build
     machines on different OSes. They build and test HEAD each night
     on all RA layers, and email the results to
     svn-breakage@subversion.tigris.org. (Go ahead and subscribe!)
     If something breaks in HEAD, we usually see it within 24 hours.

 4. When a release is made, the release maintainer runs the
     regression suite over all RA layers as well.
