Re: svn commit: r1501038 - /subversion/branches/1.8.x/STATUS

If you're going to vote this way, then I think you need to say what would
solve the issue for you. We probably don't want to play "bring me another
rock".

Note: I see the term "busted" is from svn's point of view, NOT the protocol
definition, and since this is *our* config, then it is entirely reasonable
to use that point of view.

Consider: what if the server responded 501 to every MERGE request? That
meets the protocol definition, but it is absolutely busted from svn's point
of view.

Our config options are for svn. Not for the protocol.

Cheers,
