2013-11-04 Thread Toshio Kuratomi
A new setuptools upstream release (1.2) was made last week that adds support for subversion 1.7 and 1.8. Subversion 1.7 shipped in Fedora 19 so the subversion support in setuptools is currently broken in both F19 and F20. Unless there's objections I'm definitely going to update setuptools in F20.
