First, sorry if I sounded off like I thought it was your (as in APRs) fault of the problem in Subversion. That was not the meaning.
It might well be there is a bug in Subversion. I do want you to understand thought that if you are going to hash out changes to APR, it must happen here, not on the svn dev lists :)
I also believe that finding a map between user/group/world and ACLs is very difficult, perhaps impossible, so no real blame there!
Yes; this is a non-trivial problem.
I do *not* think that APR 1.2.2 is in error, but I have to punt the question if the change in apr_open_file() should be proposed for backport to the more seasoned APR developers, as I do not know if the new behavior would need a apr_foo_ex(), or if it would be considered "just a bug fix" (read: what is the expected behavior?).
If Windows is consistent with Unix etc, then it's behavior is 'correct'. If it is inconsistent, we have a bug. Bill
