Hi, in case no one else has mentioned, there are currently a lot of complaints and a lively discussion in https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-11381 why Jenkins still doesn't support svn 1.7 now that SVNKit 1.7 is released.
I would fix this myself, but I don't know what the Jenkins specific patches to SVNKit are and how to apply them to SVNKit 1.7 I'd like to take this opportunity to point out again that using a patched library is *NOT* a good idea and we should try to see how the Hudson guys solved it in this case. cheers Christoph
