RE: fsfs migration failure. File too large??

From what I read in the thread (and I have no idea which version of APR I am using since I am using precompiled binaries, and svn --version does not tell me), I would expect fsfs to have problems with commits that are larger than 2 GB. And this probably also depends on both the server and the svn client. While this is not very likely to happen during every day operation, it most certainly will happen when importing large projects from some other version control system. And how about all those other components that are involved access methods different from svn://?

If this is a real problem, I would suggest a warning in the release notes.

It's not Subversion that handles files, but APR. In particular, APR
0.9x uses a 32-bit position counter, and APR 1.X uses 64-bit ones.
