RE: Windows XP "Access denied" svn_io_rename

Aha. It is there in the FAQ. I guess I kind of viewed IssueTracker as
"the" place to track things that need to be addressed for a particular
release of Subversion. The workaround presented in the FAQ, though, is
a patch to the source code.

What do people think? Is a source code patch an acceptable workaround
for the 1.0 release to end users? Or should the patch become part of
the 1.0 product, in spite of the ugly #ifdef and the
duct-tape-and-baling-wire solution it contains?

Personally, I'd prefer to see the official 1.0 release do "the best it
can" with this issue, rather than sticking the poor end users with an
"Oh, you can patch your source and rebuild the product" workaround. Is
that likely without an official issue filed?

Is it mentioned in the FAQ?
