Re: Submitting a changelist while obstructed item exists

Thanks for the response Hyrum.

My intent on bringing this thread to the Dev list is to get a thumbs-up
or -down on whether this issue I'm seeing is in fact a bug, before I
open an issue for it.

So I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've been following the info
at http://subversion.tigris.org/bugs.html, which says to start w/ the
Users mailing list. It's been nearly a month without feedback.

What do you suggest?

Best regards,
Nick
