Re: [svn] commit failure reported on success

Ok this is it I promise :-). More info again.

The svn commit email failed to go out. I know this for sure (rather than
a delay being the issue) because I just generated revision 22521 which I
just recieved: 22520 on the failed commit never made it out the door.

This may be important maybe not.
