Re: [PATCH] bug(let) in mod_dav_svn: Cannot navigate from repository top to repository list when SVNListParentPath is on.

I haven't reviewed the patch, but it would be more useful if it:
  a) was in unified diff format
  b) was against a trunk working copy instead of a beta tarball
  c) had an accompanying log message to explain the change

All of these guidelines, and help with how to comply with them, can be
found here: http://subversion.tigris.org/hacking.html#patches

Thanks,
