I decided not to create the branch yet, as we have a number of (actual
and potential) release blockers.
These are the issues tagged with the 1.9.0 milestone:
http://s.apache.org/cQw
* 4502 Remove FSFS7 disk format changes
We've had this discussion several times. AIUI Ivan still believes we
should remove log addressing, even though all of the points he
raised have been addressed. I propose we close this issue.
* 4556 Replace 'svn youngest' with another UI
Not much discussion here. I propose we do either option 2 ('svnmucc
youngest'), or rip out the subcommand entirely since there are lots
of ways to the info.
* 4558, 4559, 4560: These are all about pin-externals. They shouldn't
take too long to fix; basically, the pin-externals feature needs a
lot more tests to catch the trivial errors sooner.
* 4500 API: describe four-way conflicts losslessly
I don't know what to do about this. Bert, you recently made a slew
of changes in the conflict resolver; your opinion would be valuable
here.
These are defects tagged 1.9.0-consider: http://s.apache.org/Nft
I'd appreciate getting some help with these; some are probably already
fixed, a few may be release blockers.
