Correct, it also means if the 1.3.0 svn command line client has this
enabled, there's possibility for various problems covered earlier in this
mail list. Including increased bandwidth usage and failure to auth correctly
in some cases.

Depends entirely on how they built the subversion libraries for their
client.
