TESTED:
-------
[ fsfs | bdb ] x [ file | svn | http (neon) ]
JavaHL Bindings

SUCCESSFULLY BUILT BUT NOT TESTED:
----------------------------------
Python Bindings
Perl Bindings

SUMMARY:
--------
+1 to release.

RESULTS:
--------
JavaHL: Pass

[ fsfs | bdb ] x [ file | svn | http (neon) ]: All pass except as noted below:

[ fsfs | bdb ] x [ file | svn | http (neon) ]

basic_tests.py 12: 'basic revert command' failed due a problem with
that test on Windows with Python 2.5+. I fixed this on trunk in
r35930. With that fix applied to 1.6.x this test passed all
variations. As this was simply a problem with the test suite it does
not prevent release.

[ bdb ] x [ http (neon) ]

FAIL: tree_conflict_tests.py 10: merge file: del/rpl/mv onto not-same
FAIL: tree_conflict_tests.py 11: merge file: del/rpl/mv onto not-file
FAIL: tree_conflict_tests.py 12: merge file: add onto not-none
FAIL: tree_conflict_tests.py 16: merge dir: add onto not-none

[ bdb ] x [ svn ]

FAIL: tree_conflict_tests.py 9: merge file: modify onto not-file
FAIL: tree_conflict_tests.py 10: merge file: del/rpl/mv onto not-same
FAIL: tree_conflict_tests.py 11: merge file: del/rpl/mv onto not-file
FAIL: tree_conflict_tests.py 12: merge file: add onto not-none
FAIL: tree_conflict_tests.py 13: merge dir: modify onto not-dir
FAIL: tree_conflict_tests.py 16: merge dir: add onto not-none

All of the above tree_conflict_tests.py failures were due to the
inability of the tests to delete the repository when building multiple
sandboxes. I fixed this on trunk in r35943. After merging that
change to 1.6.x all of these tests passed. Again, this was a problem
with the test suite and is not sufficient to stop release.

[ bdb ] x [ file ]

FAIL: fs-test.exe 18: merging commit

The XFail on this test was incorrectly removed in r35347. It was set
back to XFail on trunk in r35945 (see also r35948). In the course of
investigating these failures I found a bug in the fsfs implementation
of svn_fs_commit_txn(): If the commit failed, the *NEW_REV argument
was not set to SVN_INVALID_REVNUM as the API promises:

 * @note Success or failure of the commit of @a txn is determined by
 * examining the value of @a *new_rev upon this function's return. If
 * the value is a valid revision number, the commit was successful,
 * even though a non-_at_c NULL function return value may indicate that
 * something else went wrong.
 */
svn_error_t *
svn_fs_commit_txn(const char **conflict_p,
                  svn_revnum_t *new_rev,
                  svn_fs_txn_t *txn,
                  apr_pool_t *pool);

This was fixed in r35950, but given that this bug has existed since
the dawn of FSFS in 1.1.0, it seems all callers are relying on the
returned error and/or the value of **CONFLICT_P rather than the value
of *NEW_REV. So nominating this for backport to 1.6.1 seems
sufficient.
