SVN 1.5 and RC1

I was off-line most of last week while at EclipseCon and am just
trying to get caught up on where things stand in terms of release. I
saw that the svnserve 1.4 problem has been committed and proposed for
backport. What other blockers do we have? I see we have at least
one:

Issue: 3133 - 'svn cp wc wc' requires repository access

Is anyone specifically looking into this? I am kind of assuming that
cmpilato might be, but am just checking.

I also saw some discussion last week about improving the format of the
mergeinfo output before release. Is that still an open issue or did
it get committed? When Dan and I were originally making proposals
around this command we envisioned it having output that was similar to
svn log. At the time, that was the main hold-up for us in
implementing it as we could not decide if it should be a new
subcommand or an option to log. I liked the proposals for the command
line UI I saw last week, but would still like to see log style output.
 In the graphical merge client we have built, I use the API to show
the revisions eligible to be merged and I do it in a log style format.
 It is extremely useful, especially when deciding what revisions ought
to potentially be backported.

As an example, I have attached the output we produce in the client of
some of our eligible revisions. We get 25 at a time, and I clicked
the Get Next button a couple of times until I saw the date was prior
to our recent releases. I am not proposing we follow this exact
output, just that it can make it easy to see what you might want to
merge when you can see it in log format. Someone might see some more
stuff to propose for backport in this output too :)

Anyway, getting this back on topic. Are there any other blockers
besides the one (maybe two) issues I noted above? Proposed backports
notwithstanding of course.
