Thanks. My comments are below.

Ok. The log message is almost correct, but you didn't mention the
symbol you were changing the docs for in svn_config.h. This may seem
logical in the context of the message, but it isn't when you're
grepping through the logs for a symbol.

Unfortunately, things can't work this way. libsvn_subr is a library
and the library-using program may not see the output from
svn_handle_warning() (think GUI situations).

What you could do is create a new notification, send that through the
notification callback in the ctx structure (which I presume is
available to one of the callers of svn_config__parse_file()) and
handle that notification in subversion/svn/notify.c...

Thanks for taking a look at this! I hope you feel like taking another
stab at it!

Erik.
