Messing with a release candidate for the sake of a couple minor test suite tweaks is not my idea of sane release management. In other words, -1 to putting this in 1.8.0. Instead, I propose we revert that change and explain how to run Windows tests in the release notes. We can then reintroduce the change in 1.8.1; it's not as if the test suite scripts have anything to do with binary compatibility. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej | Director of Subversion WANdisco // Non-Stop Data e.
