Hi All,

Given that we have found several serious problems with RC1, in
particular these items in STATUS:

  * r30455, r30460
    Use 1:PEG_REV instead of 1:HEAD as the default operative revision
    range when a peg revision is supplied to a single-URL merge command.
    Votes:
      +1: cmpilato

  * r30448, r30464
    r30448: XFail Testcase to showcase the bug.
    r30464: Fix reopened issue #2821. Fixes a bug where repeat merges can
    easily occur when merging into subtrees with differing mergeinfo from the
    merge target.
    See http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2821#desc22
    Votes:
      +1: pburba(r30464)
      +1: kameshj(r30448)

  * r30467
    Fix a bug which can corrupt mergeinfo when filtering self-referential
    mergeinfo.
    See http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=137036.
    Votes:
      +1: pburba

  * r30440, r30453, r30462, r30463
    Fix regression. Svnsync doesn't support 1.4 svnserve servers.
    Votes:
      +1: lgo

Shouldn't we push to quickly backport those fixes and roll RC2?

Paul
