New Revision: 1697366
URL: http://svn.apache.org/r1697366
Log:
Add warning to 1.8 adn 1.9 release notes in the aftermath of issue #4588.
Turns out neither the release notes nor the SVN book is not too clear
about the fact that replacing repositories (e.g. after dump / load)
requires a server restart.
* site/publish/docs/release-notes/1.8.html
(FSFS format bump): Add a warning box instructing the user to restart
their server after(s) replacing a repository.
* site/publish/docs/release-notes/1.9.html
(Format bump): Same.
