This turns out to be some "forward compatibility" code added recently in anticipation of Subversion 1.7. In svn 1.7, the current plan is to have a single .svn directory at the root of your checkout, instead of one per subdirectory. So svn 1.6 looks up the tree for a "svn 1.7 checkout root" so it can properly abort if it finds one. We'll probably modify this check to ignore "permission denied" errors. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
