Hello, I'm working on the INSTALL file, aiming to bring it up to date with the current state of Subversion and resolve the issues that accumulated over the decades since the file was introduced (and it's been there since the very birth of SVN). This is still a work in progress, but I believe the current state in trunk is a substantial improvement over the INSTALL file in the 1.15.x branch. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
The pending INSTALL changes in trunk have been nominated for backport to 1.15.x in the "INSTALL: Corrections and cleanups" group. However, it appears that documentation changes typically don't need a formal voting process and don't restart the soak period when backported[1]. If that's true then I think that it makes sense to confirm that changes to INSTALL fall into the documentation category and let future INSTALL changes be backported without voting. Please let me know what you think. Thank you!
