In looking at this, I came to more or less the same conclusion, though
undoubtedly it took me a *bit* longer to figure it out.
I'm still unsure about the need to rev svn_wc_status2_t or not. Looking
at r13791 (Rev the svn_wc_status_t structure to svn_wc_status2_t, so as
not to break ABI) as a roadmap for adding to svn_wc_status_t, the
implication is that I need to rev svn_wc_status2_t, svn_wc_dup_status2,
svn_wc_status2, etc...but r13805 added the comment you alluded to above:
* @note Fields may be added to the end of this structure in future
* versions. Therefore, users shouldn't allocate structures of this
* type, to preserve binary compatibility.
Does this warning alone give the green light to add members to
svn_wc_status2_t without revving it? The following thread on ABI breakage
reveals no widespread consensus on this topic:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-03/0929.shtml
I might be missing something terribly simple as this is my first time
tackling a change of this nature and my understanding of maintaining ABI
is a bit shaky; so any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul B.
