I think the release notes are not true about the database upgrade, at
least from the windows point of view. Since BDB is statically linked
with the win32 executables (even with the svn.exe client), it is
subversion which does the database upgrade on windows systems. That
means subversion 1.2 can NOT read version 1.1 repositories (without
manual intervention). On windows, the Berkely DB upgrade *is* very
well related to the Subversion 1.2 release.

The readme.txt which ships with the win32 binaries is not installed if
you use the windows installer (at least not during the update from 1.1
on my system). So I have never seen this readme.txt before I saw your
mail on the list about it. There is a readme.txt file in my subversion
install folder, but it does not mention the database upgrade at all:
Subversion, a version control system.
Contents:
I. A FEW POINTERS
II. DOCUMENTATION
III. PARTICIPATING IN THE SUBVERSION COMMUNITY
IV. QUICKSTART GUIDE
V. CONVERTING FROM CVS
Perhaps these two issues can be improved with the 1.2.1 release?
