I was maybe a bit terse when I mentioned "test suite features". For the record: apparently the test backported in r1538135 depended on svntest.actions.run_and_verify_checkout being able to handle None as expected working copy, which seems to be a new feature of the test suite in 1.8+. Bert has already fixed the test and nominated for backport [1], and Ben even called out the fact that it would be a good idea to vote for it before cutting the 1.7.14 release [2] (sorry ... didn't get to it).
