Blair,
I didn't post the fix in the mailing list at the time.
I wanted somewhere that I knew I could get notified of an answer.
I posted the issue in issuezilla and asked if you guys wanted the solution as well -
I had been messing with it for a week and finally got it to work correctly.
I got informed that my issue (which clearly identified svn_load_dirs) had nothing
to do with subversions proper functioning. So I figured, I'd just go on using my
corrected version, always overwriting the stock perl script.
Kinda strange when the main attraction for me in subversion was the vendor branches
and tags. Which were the same things that were causing havoc via svn_load_dirs.pl.
So I was very disheartened when I saw that the bug had been fixed in #1455 only
because a big name had reported the problem, and been ignored when a small time
operator had offered a fix, and at the same time glad that it been fixed at least.
