Hi,
You seem to be talking about
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4530 which I've updated
recently and started working on. You probably didn't receive an update
from Jira about that because the issue was imported from our old tracker
at Tigris. Do please add yourself to the watch list, if you're interested.

P.S: As per [https://subversion.apache.org/reporting-issues.html]
discussion belongs on this list, not in Jira.
