I can confirm that r1407206, which introduced the Ruby 1.9 support, applies cleanly to 1.7.x and 'make check-swig-rb' then passes on my Debian box with ruby1.9.1-dev installed. (Ruby versioning is complicated: the package name is ruby1.9.1 but the version is 1.9.3.194-8.1.) -- Certified & Supported Apache Subversion Downloads: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download
