Point taken.
I agree, however from the code in main.c it appears that if the code
detects ipv6 then it will ask apr to only create an ipv6 binding, so I
think this may be your point a)
However I am not familiar enough with apr or svnserve to set up two
listening ports, one for ipv4 and one for ipv6 (if that is what needs to
be done), I hope someone out there may be able to do that.
The fix I submitted is for anoyone like me who upgraded to 1.2.0 and
found themselves without a useable snv server :) and needs a quick fix.
