Hi Stefan,
sorry this was an accident.
Of course this mail should go to users_at_subversion.apache.org as well.

Betreff: Re: Bug Report: The "svn switch" command updates a files timestamp if the property svn:keywords is set
Hi Dirk,
Did you drop the users list address from Cc intentionally?
I'd like us to keep this discussion on the mailing list so other people can contribute to it.
Thanks.
