Hi Ahmet, A quick response to some of your questions:
(1) I think it is possible that the scripts won't work if you don't have a stored password for svn, because they invoke svn copy (yes) but they do not permit it to ask for a password. (2) The parameters would be: 1.6 1.7 , as you guessed. (3) Getting permission to edit confluence may be a challenge; I will see if I have privs to grant you the ability to do it. I think it might be best for the moment if I ran the script to set up the release branch. Any objections? but I agree we should work on it to make it acceptable for Mac users.
