You raised an issue that says

  "I have in progress a fix that only checks out the needed branches to
   accomplish this same task."

and

  "If someone else has already completed this work or has it in
   progress, let me know and I will await its completion."

So that's one single email, and it appears to me that your patch was
incomplete. The Subversion project generates thousands of emails
every month, why should anyone be interested in a single email from
the issue tracker about a patch that's not finished? Did you ever
follow up with another email? Did you ever post the patch to the dev
list? Did you ever attach the patch to the issue? Did you ever even
finish the patch?

If you want to have a patch reviewed then read the HACKING file, write
a log message, post the log message and patch to the dev list. Why do
you expect someone to ask for it? Why didn't you post it?
