Thus i'm proposing to add a link to the reporting-issues.html page. The request to add a reference to a mailing list discussion is intended to encourage people to actually use the mailing list before creating an issue (and an excuse to deny an account if an issue has not been discussed on-list). Wow, that is indeed an old email. By the way, your reference accidentally pointed to a staging site -- here's the real URL: https://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/issues.html#issues Now, issue trackers have changed a lot since then. Many modern trackers support conversational threads in a mailing-list-like way, so some of what that page says isn't as true today as it was in 2002. I still think it's a good idea for people to post on the list or in some other non-tracker forum before filing an issue, but the argument for why is perhaps weaker now than it used to be. Thanks for noticing the new self-serve and thinking ahead to the adjustment we should make! Best regards, -Karl Please check and feel free to update (in particular any grammatical/ spelling errors).

I would recommend to just change the comma before please to a period: >> + you can apply for an account using the > + href="https://selfserve.apache.org/jira-account.html; >> + >Self-serve Portal, please add a reference to the mailing So it reads: "Self-serve Portal. Please" Otherwise, looks good. I agree that people will find the link, so may as well document it. Cheers, Nathan
Re: Initial patch for storing the pristines-on-demand setting in the working copy (Issue 4889)

I think that the above case qualifies as such, so I made a related improvement by introducing a new config option and also fixed the described error: - r1907964 introduces a new `compatible-version` config setting, to allow configuring the desired default wc compatibility level globally. - r1907965 fixes an error when `svn upgrade` is called without any arguments for a working copy of the newer format.
